Thank you Doctor Ohh,
On that basis I have retried the data and created in Sigil a test Epub file which shows the problem.
Test Subject (Original).epub Test Subject (Converted).epub
Here is the Conversion Log details for that operation:

Output File above
Description of problem: Instead of getting text in book view:
[Chapter One
This is test material to show how the conversion process in Calibre is working.]
there seems to be a mixture of HTML symbols and individual letters:
[< ! D O C T Y P E h t m l P U B L I C " - / / W 3 C / / D T D X H T M L 1 . 1 / / E N " " h t t p : / / w w w . w 3 . o r g / T R / x h t m l 1 1 / D T D / x h t m l 1 1 . d t d " > < h t m l x m l n s = " h t t p : / / w w w . w 3 . o r g / 1 9 9 9 / x h t m l " > < h e a d > < t i t l e > < / t i t l e > < / h e a d > < b o d y > < h 3 > C h a p t e r O n e < / h 3 > < p > T h i s i s t e s t m a t e r i a l t o s h o w h o w t h e c o n v e r s i o n p r o c e s s i n C a l i b r e i s w o r k i n g . < / p > < / b o d y > < / h t m l >
No error message shown.
No conversion options changed from my normal usage, which is:
Look & Feel: disable font size - unchecked - base font size 12.0 pt.
remove spacing - checked
indent size 1.5 em
left allign
smarten puctuation - checked
keep ligatures - checked
Extra CSS - h2, h3, h4, h5 { text-align: center }
Heuristic Processing: not enabled
Page Setup: Input Profile - Default, Output Profile - Tablet
Structure Detection: Detect Chapters - //*[((name()='h2' or name()='h3') and re:test(., 'chapter|book|section|part|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9\s+' , 'i')) or @class = 'chapter']
Remove fake margins - checked
Insert Metadata - checked
Table Of Contents: Level 1 Toc //h:h2, Level 2 Toc //h:h3, Level 3 Toc //h:h4
Search & Replace: CHAPTER to Chapter
Epub Output: Initially Preserve Cover ratio - Checked, then on subsequent conversion - Do not Split On Page Breaks - Checked
Since my initial reporting of the problem I have also tried deleting the Metadata file in Calibre Library and restoring the Library from Backup - has not resolved the problem.
I have also retried existing files and they are now recreating the problem.
I do hope someone can point me in the right direction as I would be lost without Calibre.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
