It's making the user do too much work to fill out the Title when they've chosen an internal link. Link Picker can auto complete the URL, so it should also complete the Title.

@m9n it used to do this until WordPress changed the API.

If I recall I did try to make it do this after the API change, but I failed. However I think it could be done by one of the following methods:

Using some fancy JS to capture the associated title when it is chosen.
Capturing the post ID, and grabbing it from that.
Using the URL to look up the post, then populating it from that.
