Should a question page have a line above the title?
At the top of the user page there is a row of tabs, such as "Profile", "Activity", and "Vote Summary". These are followed by a horizontal blue line which separates them from the content of each tab. The active tab has a background of the same blue, making it clear what this blue line is for:

On a question page, a similar blue line extends across the top of the page above the question title, but in this case there is no obvious reason for it to be present:

This same line is also present on mobile:

The question title is already visually separated from the category bar above by the change of background colour, so the line does not seem necessary.

This does not take up a large amount of space, so it does not seem important either way, but I personally prefer less visual clutter.

Do you have any preference on whether a question page shows this line above the title?
