SUMMARY: see $SUBJECT STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Detect faces. 2. Browse images, let face tags appear so you can edit one. 3. Type "Ignored" (the predefined category which ignores faces that aren't interested) into the tag input box. 4. Go to the next or previous image, then go back. OBSERVED RESULT Face tag is empty again (or shows the previously suggested face tag.) EXPECTED RESULT Face tag should contain "Ignored".

That's not the way to ignore faces. In the People View under "Unknown" click on the "-" button of a face thumbnail. Maik

OK, I get it but this is confusing since there are two meanings for "-". Clicking on "-" while viewing the image will remove the face, but it will be redetected when re-running the deteection algorithm. Clicking on "-" while in the "People" browser will do as you described. Can we maybe unify this experience so that we have - (+) Accept and tag face - (/) Ignore face (& move to "Ignored" category) - (-) Remove this face (& don't detect it again) because this isn't a face in both views?
Oh, and - Remove suggestion ("This is somebody else") if there is a suggestion btw, the button icons are almost invisible when using a dark theme.
Fixed with #432140
