Sure - that's the way with software!

Hmm, that's weird. Never seen that before.
You could try to remove Digikam's configuration file,
  ~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc
but I am not sure if that would really help
(maybe it also helps for the second issue,
so moving that file to a different name and running
diff over it after a new round of using digikam might
reveal the origin of the problem).

Just, in case: one has to move the mouse quite a bit,
but I am sure you know that ...
