Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
This occurs in both the lighttable and darkroom views of dt.
The tagging module and collection module have a discrepancy in showing current collection tags when there are free nodes.
Steps to reproduce
Assume there is a tag "plant" applied to 8 images; a tag "plant|tulip" applied to 2 images (both of those images also have the "plant" tag); and 4 images with "plant|rose" (none tagged with just the "plant" tag).
When in the tagging module, right-clicking "plant", then choosing "go to tag collection" the current view shows 10 images: just the 10 tagged with the "plant" tag, not the 4 with the "plant|rose" tag.
In the collections module, when choosing the "plant" tag it shows 14 images in the current view: the 10 with the "plant" tag and the 4 with the "tag|plant".
There is no indication from the manual that the_tagging_ module's "got to collections" should work differently than the collections module.
Expected behavior
the two options listed above should behave the same, or the manual should be updated to reflect the exact behavior of each and why they are different

Research direction
Reproduce the stated plant, plant|tulip, and plant|rose setup in darktable, then compare the tagging module's “go to tag collection” action with the collections module's plant selection. Read the relevant tagging and collections module behavior and the manual; done means both actions agree or the manual clearly documents the difference.
