Problems with <title> tags in Multiscreen HTML

I am currently working with Robohelp 10 to generate Multiscreen HTML help, but I am having a problem with the <title> tags of the output. Whenever I generate my help using the "Multiscreen HTML5" SSL, all <title> tags in the output is set to the name of the project eg. "My Product Help", rather than the Topic title eg. "My Help Topic". All topics have titles, and these are located in the <title> tag of each topic. I can see in the Screen Layout file that this contains the following line: <title>Topic</title>, but in the end the output becomes <title>My Product Help</title> rather than <title>My Help Topic</title> which would be logical. This has an adverse effect on SEO because all pages end up with the same, not very descriptive, title - but I simply can't sort out how to make the output use the title tags from the actual topics. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue.  Does anyone know of a solution to this?

In the SSL settings, leave the Title bar field empty. When empty, the title will be populated with the topic title.

In RH11, I have the Title Bar field in the Multiscreen HTML5 SSL settings set, and my output appends my topic title to this.

e.g. My Product - The First Topic

Not sure this helps, just putting forward my experience.
