Description anari.jalakas 2024-10-06 09:03:54 UTC 
Faces thumbnails view loses selection/focus after new face added, even when visible area is not changing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. People->Workflow->Detect faces->Scan
2. Go to: People->Unrecognized tag->Thumbnails
3.1 Hower on "Mark this face as Ignored" button
or 
3.2 Click on "Who is this?" and start typing
4. (When) new face is added into tag list (by background process)
5. My selection / focus will be always lost, even when added picture does not change current view area
6. After some seconds hovering, focus will reapplied to face

OBSERVED RESULT
Focus is lost, text input will be problematic, sometimes my text input will be corrupted because of lost focus.

EXPECTED RESULT
When new face is added into list:
- if this will        change visible area (causes redraw), then it should            remove focus
- if this will not change visible area (causes redraw), then it should *not* remove focus

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Observed in digiKam-8.5.0-20241005T220112-Qt6-x86-64.appimage
