The bug

There's a strange bug that appears when you search by filename and then delete a tag from a photo.
The photo's description and GPS location are simultaneously deleted.
I also checked it on Postgres, and the data does indeed disappear.
I noticed a different behavior depending on whether the tag name has an apostrophe or not.
In the first case, the GPS location also disappears; in the second, only the title.
In my case this appears every time in firefox or chrome

Can you share the photo metadata in question and search query?
I am unable to reproduce the error locally. Searched for list of images -- opened the first in list--deleted the tag--description and GPS info remained intact

Sure, I activate verbose logs and this is the result, I didn't how to get the queries, is there a command to show them?
I put in the search box the filename and selected filename, now I checked that these pictures are all in an external library with xmp file if can help, in the xmp file there is lat, lon and description inside.
Seems that, in case the file has been uploaded from a mobile device, nothing happens
Thanks
