Sorry - The patch did not fix it, but I have some new observations that may help. 

1) I do not have to switch to a different folder before the apply prompts start, this happens within the same folder on images that have different comments than the original.  It was just more noticeable with changing folders because the images in the new folder had different comments than the previous image.

2) if I select images with the same comment consecutively, I am not prompted.  Could it be comparing the comment of the two previous images instead of its own comment? Example below:

A "mountain"	initial image, change from "boulder" to "mountain", this kicks off the sequence
B "boathouse"	prompted immediately when switch to this image (change was made to A)
C "boathouse"	prompted immediately when switch to this image (compared A to B)
D "boathouse"	NOT prompted when switch to this image.(compared B to C)
E "cats"	NOT prompted when switch to this image. (compared C to D)
F "cats"	prompted immediately when switch to this image(compared D to E)
G "cats"	NOT prompted when switch to this image (compared E to F)
H "cats"	NOT prompted when switch to this image (compared F to G)

3) once a photo has been clicked/selected and I have been prompted and clicked apply, I am not prompted again for that picture.

4) I went back to try digikam-9.0.0 to see what it does. it looks like a similar symptom is there also.  9.0.0 will save the metadata for files when switching between images when no changes have been made. This can be seen when running from a terminal. 

You might try a test again with a bunch of different comments.
Hope this helps.
