I've provided all the required steps in the thread before, step by step.
Maybe it's better to spend some time for reading before blaming, isn't it?
One of the user-cases is: start editing in some edit control (image size
for export etc.) If the cursor occasionally leaves the control for some
other control (except label), the latter steals focus and the keyboard
input is not hooked by the original edit control one is actually typing
in. If one is typing digits at that moment, they are interpreted as star
rating. If any images are selected, that rating is mutually applied for
them.
If one have selected some images by some search criterion, including
rating, applying wrong star rating can be fully destructive as that
cannot be undone without the full knowledge about the set of affected
images and their initial ratings.

Hello
Yesterday I've almost lost my data again. That time that hadn't happened
because no images were selected. It's some kind of Russian roulette to
change image size.
With respect,

I can only change width and height valued by backspacing.

cannot you provide steps and conditions which led to your "almost"
condition that someone may provide a solution? only you can see and
experience what is in front of you, other just have to guess or summons
their crystal balls, or iron or ....
perhaps your methods need examining. the *only* time I recall "almost"
loosing data was when I was being quite foolist and in too much hurry
mode. but I caught myself, re: almost.
and I have "trash" disabled.
