"next image" in editor does not change selection in album view anymore

[Daniel Bauer]

Oooo - it only works in one session :-( After restart of digikam the 
problem is back.

I tried two times and I can reproduce:

- digikam settings "view" set to "open editor" - selected image in album 
does not change when going to next in editor
- change settings to "show preview"

important:
- click on an image in preview and select from the menu "edit" 
(Bildbearbeitung")
try to go to next/previous image with pg-up/dwn

- change setting back to "open editor" - now selected image in album 
changes when going to next in editor

- close digikam, start it again, the problem is back...

To reproduce here it is important to do the two steps under "important". 
When, after changing to "show preview", I did /not/ click on an image 
and opened the editor via menu before changing back to "open editor", 
there is no effect (problem stays). But when I do it the problem goes 
away for the session, until I close digikam.

Sorry for complicated description, but I hope it helps :-)
