SUMMARY
Digikam consistently crashes when I try to edit a People tag in the People Tab > Preview screen.
Note I had just updated to Digikam 8.2.0 from 8.1.0. I used this file to upgrade - digiKam-8.2.0-Win64.exe.
I used the above file rather than the slightly later compiled version digiKam-8.2.0-Qt5-Win64.exe as the above had the later QT6 version.

NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Above page says "This whole page is irrelevant if you're using Windows" so can't add crash report unless there is a new way.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Digikam 8.2.0
2. Select People tab on LH side (bottom)
3. I already had People faces to confirm from previously running recognise faces under 8.1.0
4. Selected a thumbnail by double clicking and opening picture in Preview mode.
5. Selected a face tagged "Who is This" and clicked in the edit box where I got a flashing cursor. As soon as I type something no text appears and Digikam crashes.
6. Have tried to change a name proposed by facial recognition in the preview screen with the same result, Digikam crashes.
7. If I confirm a proposed name in Thumbnail mode it works.
8. If I try to change a propposed name in Thumbnail mode it works.
Problem appears to be only in Preview mode.
I selected component "general" as I couldn't find anything that seemed to fit this particular area

OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
Enter part of name for system to give me list of names to select from.
