Description

When I’m watching a single video from my “Watch Later” list and delete another video from the “Watch Later” playlist on the right side (via the three-dot menu – “Remove from playlist”), the translated title of the deleted video suddenly appears next to the thumbnail of the next video.

Steps to Reproduce (if you noticed a specific pattern)

Add videos with translated titles to your “Watch Later” list, start watching one of them, and while it’s playing, delete it from the playlist on the right.

I was aware of this issue and ‘fixed’ it with an observer on the playlist. When you add or delete a video from the playlist, the observer triggers and calls the titles refresh function, fixing potential wrong titles.
It still works for me; I tried to replicate your issue and had no problem on my side: I delete a video, the next one takes its title (so wrong title), but a few milliseconds later, the correct title is back.

Could you please try again with your console open and tell me if you see this log: “[YNT][Browsing Titles] Playlist video change detected” when you delete a video from your playlist?

I tried to reproduce it a couple of times, but I can’t anymore. My Chrome has been updated to 141.0.7390.66 since I opened this, so maybe that’s the difference. It works as expected now—thanks for looking into it.

Weird.
Don't hesitate to reopen the issue if this happens again and you notice a specific pattern.
