Cursor is on an author and result is shown proper in the QV.
Now I check the flag to block the content (sorry I have only the german description. It is in the dialog left beside dock/undock).
Next I select an other author on the calibre window.
My expectation from the field description is, that the content in QV does not changes but it is now adjusted to the new author.
Do I missunderstand this flag?

No, you do not misunderstand the flag.
I broke it when I added the extra columns. There is an "ambiguity" about what to do when preferences (which columns) are changed vs when book data is changed. I resolved that ambiguity by changing the book data in both cases. This is clearly the wrong choice, because that also changes the quickview (QV) window when the *book* changes, thus ignoring the flag.
I have a fix that I want to test more tomorrow before I submit it. After applying the fix, changes both to which book is selected and the metadata for a single book will not be shown in QV. In other words, if QV is locked and you change the series for a book, QV will still show the old series. If QV is locked then changing the selected book will not change the QV screen. I don't think this is ideal -- I would like that the first case to change the line in QV but that the second case to do nothing -- but that is hard given how QV is implemented.
