Build ID: 20161007004004
Steps to reproduce:
Right-click on any webpage (except on an image), and then click on "View Page Info".
Actual results:
The "Page Info" window shows a list of properties and values. (The values can be selected and copied for pasting.) Objections:
1) It shows the value of the Title property by itself, as if I would always know that it is the page title, regardless of its value. (All other properties show <property-name>: <value>.)
2) It displays the page title with a colon appended (and in bold), using the page title as a section heading. (The colon would be correct, except that the page title IS NOT a proper section heading for the data shown; it is a datum like the others.)
2a) If the page title happens to end with punctuation (. ? !), the appended colon looks especially dumb.
2b) It is tedious to copy and paste the page title, because of the need to avoid the spurious colon when selecting, or else delete the spurious colon after pasting. (Page Info is the ONLY place where I can copy the page title. Copying the page title is the ONLY reason I open Page Info. Sometimes I need to copy a lot of page titles. NOT MANY people view the Page Info window.)
3) It shows the property names in Title Case instead of Sentence case.

Expected results:
That colon has to go away. Showing the property-name "Title:" is better than not showing it (and showing "Title:" removes any need for a colon after the title). All property-names change to Sentence case.
