      After matching a couple of albums, I'd like to add some info to the 'comment:' field.
      So I:
      -select all matched albums
      -use the 'add new tag' in the bottom pane
      -type in 'comment:'
      -insert my info in the value field
      -close the dialog by clicking the save button
      -apply all changes by saving

      If I then go and check the saved files, apparently the inserted info isn't always saved to the 'comment:' field.
      For some reason it chooses to save in the correct field or in the 'catalognumber' field seemingly at random.

      In the attached image you can see a possible cause of this bug.
      I'm typing 'comment:' and it effectively suggests that keyword, but the values shown are those from 'catalognumber' which is the first suggested keyword when starting to type 'c...'

          I've noticed that as long as you select a keyword from the dropdown, the value-field changes accordingly.
          But as soon as you type a single letter, the value-field will stay fixed on the first suggestion given for that letter (if that value-field isn't empty). So even selecting from the dropdown won't change the current displayed value-field.

          Changing the displayed value-field will effectively change the value of the keyword that corresponds with that fixed value and not the keyword that's selected.
