[chandler-users] Can't rename a collection to which I have subscribed

Hi Topher,

I just tried renaming the title of a view-only collection and  
couldn't do it either. (I'm pretty sure this was working at some point.)

So I think there is just a bug. Unfortunately, at this point, I think  
the only way to change the title is for whomever you're sharing with  
to unpublish the collection, rename it something that will work for  
both of you and then re-publish it.

I've logged a bug for this: https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/
