Title Column and Modern User Experience

I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this odd behavior or this is by design so would appreciate if someone could shed some light.

 

I am using a content type in the custom list and decided to hide the default Title column and I notice two issues:

 

1) If I click Edit button on the toolbar or through menu, it opens a page for the user to edit the item whereas if the title column is visible on the view (All items) it opens a panel on the right hand to edit/view.  I personally think opening up a panel is a much better UX.

2) When I do 'Quick Edit' since the title column are hidden it gives an error.  Even though the Title column is listed as 'Optional'

 Is this is a bug?

 

It seems that I will be now forced to use Title column which is really bad. 

Thanks,

    To me this is by design and the panel for editing the list item will only open if you have in your list a column such as Tittle that is normally used to edit a list item

      This is odd because if I add the Title column (in my case Title column is not called Title) to the View and click edit button (not the link of the title column) it opens a panel.

       

      Even if the Title column is empty just by being visible in the 'View' forces it open in the panel. This can't be a correct behavior. 

       

      Any thoughts on Quick Edit?

      Thanks,
