--- Comment #16 from Torsten Crass <torsten.crass at eBiology.de> ---
OK,

I found out what's going on!

After installing tons of dependencies, I compiled and debugged the 
digikam 4.4.14 source (from 
http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digikam-4.14.0.tar.bz2) from 
within kdevelop. The problem resides in the function

QString DItemDelegate::squeezedTextCached(QPainter* const p, int width, 
const QString& text) const

at line 184 in .../core/libs/widgets/itemviewditemdelegate.cpp. It seems 
that my problematic filenames prove that unlikely events like cache 
collisions are prone to occur sooner or later, regardless how unlikely 
they may seem. (Think Fukushima... ;)

When commenting out lines 191-194, which return a cached version of the 
squeezed filename, if existant, the correct filename gets displayed in 
the album view, freshly generated by applying the squeezedText function 
to the filename.

I suppose very little can be done about this. On the other hand, if you 
digikam developer folks can't reproduce my problem in 5.0, something 
must have changed in the sourc, preventing that cache collision from 
happening any longer. So I guess I'll for now stick with my modified 
digikam version with the uncommented caching code and just wait for 5.0 
to eventually show up in Debian.

Anyway, thanks for your great work on this great application!

Cheers --

    Torsten
