4. Check "animals" and "cat".
5. Click Apply.
6. Right click on a different photo.
7. Select Assign Tag > cat (Tags/animals)
8.


Actual Results:  
Only "cat" tag is assigned.

Expected Results:  
Assign "animals" and "cat" tags to photo.

I just ran the described sequence on digiKam-5.4.0-01-Win64.exe. Same result.
The bug remains.

After additional research I conclude that this is more a disagreement over a
design choice than a bug.

Hierarchical tags are used in many different ways. In some cases it would be
appropriate to add only the leaf tag. In others it would be better to include
the entire hierachical path to the leaf tag.

It might be nice to have an option to determine which occurs by default. But
without that, neither choice is actually wrong--just a preference.

As a result, I recommend marking this bug report as resolved:invalid.
