#3721: d.title with d.text does not insert title

 Reporter:  micha              |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect             |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal             |  Milestone:  7.4.4
Component:  Display            |    Version:  7.4.0
 Keywords:  title map display  |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Linux              |
-------------------------------+-------------------------
 When using d.title combined directly with d.text, no title appears on the
 map display. The d.title flag -d does not create the tmp file with title
 text, and piping the output of d.title into d.text does not create any
 title.

 i.e.:

 {{{
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ > d.title -d map=srtm_negev_3arc color=red     #
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ > ERROR: Failed to run command 'd.text
 input=/home/micha/GIS/grass/WGS84/PERMANENT/.tmp/TP480/11266.0
         at=50,50'. Details:

         GRASS_INFO_ERROR(11330,1): Unable to open input file
 </home/micha/GIS/grass/WGS84/PERMANENT/.tmp/TP480/11266.0>
         GRASS_INFO_END(11330,1)
 }}}

 or


 {{{
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ > d.title map=srtm_negev_3arc color=red size=10 |
 d.text align=cc
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ >             # No error but NO title appears
 }}}

 The only option that works is to redirect d.title into a text file, then
 run d.text:

 {{{
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ > d.title map=srtm_negev_3arc > my_title2.txt
 GRASS 7.4.0 (WGS84):~ > d.text input=my_title2.txt color=red at=75,75
 # Text appears as expected
 }}}
