When you add a tace tag inside album view the input box is case sensitive, it should better be case insensitive as it is in the batch face detection view. Reproducible: Always
To me, this is fixed in 5.3.0 AppImage.
I just tested this in the latest appimage and it is still a problem for me. In version 4 it was fine but all version 5 are case sensitive which is very annoying.
Actually yes, the bug is still there.

Just tested in Build date: Dec 29 2016 (target: debug) Rev.: 949e7bf27067af3ebb48685b31c7b58a3e57b736 It is sort of fixed. It is not case sensitive on matches any more, but only matches on alternate characters. To explain, trying to tag Sheila Sulley Type 's' lower case, and it gives a list containing loads of stuff starting with 's' Type 'h', so I now have 'sh' in the input box, the match list has gone. Type 'e', so I now have 'she' in the input box, the list is back and restricted to entries starting 'she' It is not just on odd numbered characters, if you click on another window when on an odd character and then come back the list is empty, adding more characters then lists on even ones only. Also the suggestion list still contains non people tags, I will update that bug as well.
The problem with the hiding of the popup after every 2. character I will also still fix. Maik
