[Digikam-devel] Shortcut problem in KDE 4.2

[Andi Clemens]

I just noticed something:

I clicked in the caption text edit field in Caption/Tags tab. It contained a 
text I wanted to delete, so I pressed CTRL+A and normally this would mark all 
characters so I can delete them.
But instead it focused the iconview and selected all images in my album.

No wonder that I get the ambiguous warning, CTRL+A should work on the current 
selected widget, not on the iconview alone.
