SUMMARY

This is a minor issue, but I thought of mentioning it.

In thumbnails view, if you press a letter on your keyboard, it acts as a shortcut and goes to a picture whose filename starts with that letter. Ok.

When confirming results after detecting faces, you have to write the person's name under each face. Sometimes the interface freezes for a moment while you are typing (specially if it's doing another operation in the background), and I suppose the face sometimes gets deselected and the keystroke acts as that shortcut instead of entering the name, jumping to another unrelated face.

This can be a little inconvenient, since you have to scroll back where you were, and sometimes a face gets accidentally tagged with that letter you just pressed.

This is mostly the same behavior reported in bug 408982.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tag some faces with their name.
2. While digikam is processing that action, try to tag some other face. 
3. Notice that there are short freezes every now and then.
4. Start typing. 

OBSERVED RESULT
From time to time, instead of typing in the text box, the face will get deselected and jump to another picture, whose name starts with the last key you just pressed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing, the name should be written in the text field.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
