Hi,

Regardless of whether it is called "capitalise first letter" or "title case", I think the current behaviour is better, because it preserves acronyms in upper case.  If you want to force every word into title case you can always use an expression to convert to lower case first.

What I actually think is unfortunate is that the expression function "title()" does what you want.  It would be more useful if it worked the same way as the label formatting option that you're complaining about ;)
