As of r15198, the fix for bug 9507 has us write back and commit text 
changes left idle for 15 seconds. (Not the date/time fields, though, nor 
text controls outside the DV. See 
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9507#c16 for details.)

If she edited the title field in the DV, it would've been written back 
and committed. If she edited the title field in a lozenge or the 
dashboard, not.
