[digiKam-users] Unable to edit Information panel under Captions

[José Oliver-Didier]

Yeah, I figured there had to be a bug somewhere, but did not find it.

Not to repeat the comments posted on the bug. Just would add that as many
photo organizers have (sort of) adhering to the Metadata Working Group
Specs, in which certain application behavior and reconciliation of fields
(XMP, IPTC and EXIF) are to be expected- Digikam should move in the
same direction.
