SUMMARY
Pressing [command] + i while editing image captions in preview mode replaces
all other captions in album

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an album
2. Populate it with images
3. Enter unique comments for some of the images
4. Enter preview mode for an image
5. Click on the "Captions" tab on the right, the "Description" sub-tab at the
top of the right hand pane, and activate the "Captions" field.
6. Enter some caption text
7. Press [command] + i 

OBSERVED RESULT
The captions on all images in the album will be replaced with the caption that
was being edited.
This can not be undone... I could find no way to recover all prior captions
that were lost.

EXPECTED RESULT
None, really. By default in digikam, [command] + i is set to "Invert." So
hitting it inverts the selection, which means it switches it from the image
being edited, to all other imaged. But apparently because that text field is
live, when the image selection is inverted to all images other than the one
being edited, the current contents of the text field overwrite the prior
contents or all captions for the entire album.

I just have hitting [command] + I trained as muscle memory for italics when
editing text. I understand that the caption field is plain text and not rich
text, so italics do not work. But I didn't expect a stray keystroke to cause me
to permanently lose dozens of hours of entering captions on hundreds of images,
and suspect other users also do not have that expectation.
