The bug
The actionbar messages that appear when using /title actionbar do not obey the fadeIn, stay, and fadeOut parameters when specified with /title times like the normal titles and subtitles do.
How to reproduce
Run the following commands in order:
/title @a times 100 100 100
/title @a title {"text":"Hello world!"}
/title @a actionbar {"text":"Hello world!"}Note: The large title fades in and out very slowly and stays plastered on the screen for the full duration, but the actionbar text instantly appears and fades out after a fixed time at a constant rate, disregarding the title times.
