How to destroy your manually entered image's metadata

How to lose your work in few easy steps:

1. Get a JPG (or any other format which supports metadata embedding)
2. In Thumbs Pane press Ctrl+I to bring the IPTC/XMP dialog
3. Enter some text in the Caption field
4. Save
5. Double-click to open the image in a new tab
6. Do any edit (for example Crop - it doesn't matter)
7. Save

8. Close tab & Return to Thumbs pane and press Ctrl+I (WHY should I return to the Thumbs pane in order to see the metadata of the open file???)

Expected: I should see in the Caption field the text entered at step 3.
Actual: Blank! - all data is wiped
