The bug fixed here is only about BD media. So: no.

Your screenshot shows a text "Searching for old ses" which i assume is
the start of "Searching for old session".
The small window says to have found an "Empty CD-RW medium".
Such a CD-RW cannot bear an old session to be found and loaded for
appending a new session based on the old one.

Is it possible that you checked "Continue multisession" in the "Settings"
tab of the "Data Project" dialog. The web has screenshots like

I expect "No multisession" to demand an empty medium and to close it
after writing, whereas "Start multisession" expects an empty medium too
but will not close it and thus enable "Continue multisession" for
this medium for further sessions. The medium for "Continue multisession"
must be classified by K3B as "Incomplete" (or "Complete" if it's formatted).

Have a nice day :)
