SUMMARY *** 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 *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. From thumbnail view, highlight a photo and press F3 to enter Preview 2. Press "T" to start entering a tag 3. begin typing (full words) OBSERVED RESULT After one, two, or three characters (and at random), the focus will jump back to the main window. Typing in the tag pane stops, and digikam now responds as if I was issuing keyboard shortcuts (i.e. hitting backspace will move to the previous photo) EXPECTED RESULT The cursor remains focused in the tag pane until I am finished adding tags and either hit Esc or F3, or click into another pane. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04 (available in About System) Gnome Version: 42.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It's reproducible using digiKam 8.2.0 pre-release App-image bundle available here ? https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. set the focus to preview if there are visible faces FIXED-IN: 8.2.0 M +1 -1 NEWS M +7 -7 core/utilities/facemanagement/items/facegroup.cpp https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/5a062d804333a20ff881ea8c73587f0ac3a7a168
The problem only occurred with images containing face regions. Due to Bug 408982 we had set the focus on the view. This now only happens when the facial region display is activated. Maik
(In reply to Maik Qualmann from comment #3) > This now only happens when the facial region display is activated. What does this mean, specifically? By 'activated' do you mean - when a user has specifically clicked into the facial region tagging box? - when 'show face tags' is turned on? - when _any_ faces are tagged? I understand what was happening in the other bug got addressed with a focus switch, but the focus should never change up on a user *in the middle of them typing elsewhere.* Do I understand correctly that in 8.2.0 that will no longer happen, or that it will happen with facial regions?
