This is not a valid condition.
[I'm assuming you are using version 2.0.2. An earlier nightly build
did assume the condition was javascript, but this is no longer the
case - see the docs.]
The while controller requires one of the following:
- blank
- LAST
- function/variable
> Http Request
How is the value of the "title" variable going to get updated?

The If controller assumes JavaScript.

This is because the condition is not being evaluated as "false".

Yes, see above!

It would be easier to set the condition to blank, and add an assertion
for the nested HTTP Request that fails when the title is NOT
"Executing Query" - i.e. move the Regex into the loop, and set the NOT
checkbox.
