My "Setttings -> Metadata -> Behavior":

 Write This Information to the Metadata
  [x] Image tags
  [x] Captions and title
  [x] Rating
  [ ] Pick label
  [ ] Color label
  [x] Timestamps
  [x] Metadata templates
  [ ] Face Tags

 Reading and Writing Metadata
  [ ] Read from sidecar files
  [ ] Write to sidecar files
  [ ] If possible write Metadata to RAW files
  [ ] Update file timestamp when files are modified

=> I don't use sidecar files.

That's also true for me:
EXIF information like Aperture, Focal, Exposure or Sensitivity is correctly
shown in the "Properties" tab of the right side view, but not in the "Metadata"
tab
of the right side view. So I guess, reading the data from the image file is not
the
problem.
And the bug effects all of my images, even those, taken 10 years ago.


The EXIF and XMP tags are not shown for 
 - images, newly imported from the SD-card and 
 - images, edited and tagged with digiKam
 - old images, edited with digiKam 3.5.0


I use JPGs, coming from a Canon EOS 500D, imported from a SD-Card
via USB card reader.


>From the menu:
 Image -> Write Metadata to Image
and
 Image -> Reread Metadata from Image
does no change this bugs effect.


Maybe one interesting point:
After installing digiKam 4.2.0, I deleted all my digiKam settings:
  ~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam
  ~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc
  ~/.kde4/share/config/digikam_tagsmanagerrc
and the digiKam dbs:
  - digikam4.db
  - thumbnails-digikam.db
To do a fresh, clean, new restart.
Since I have all important Metadata written to the JPG files, 
a fresh new digikam4.db (version 4.2.0) was build from those.

@Jean Pierre:
Did you recently delete your digiKam settings, too?
