Bug description

Hello
when I navigate back to the index page of my website, my title in the top left corner of the page (div class="md-header__title") is changed into "Home" label. If I remove "navigation.instant" feature from mkdocs.yml, the issue disappears.

Hello Martin,
I've updated the post by adding the reproduction file.
I noticed that when I add a first tree tag in the index.md (#Test for example), the issue disappear

Thanks for the excellent reproduction – that made observing and fixing the problem straight forward! The reason was that the header title state was not reset when navigating, and when the document contains no headline, it stayed in the state it was in before. Fixed in ff99e19 by resetting the title state on navigation.
