Inserting Metadata Issues
I'm usually converting Mobi to AZW3, however, I've seen the same thing happen converting from EPUB and the antiquated Tpz as well.
The issue #1: An odd "ghosting" or double posting of the tags, but in white, and with additional letters, beneath the original listing of tags, on the page generated when you choose to insert the metadata. Please see image: Issue #2: The option to insert metadata doesn't always stay checked. Sometimes I have to go back and click on it again. |

I believe the duplicated tags are to enable searching of some kind, but the details elude me.

That is deliberate, it allows you to search for individual tags across all books by appending ttt to them, without spurious matches from inside the book text.

That's pretty darn cool! I guess I can deal with an uglyish page for an awesome function. Thank you. |

I figured out a way to make that formatting less ugly, at least on newer formats like EPUB and AZW3, https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...ae6b4e06ac183c

Secondly, is this an update I can download/install, or do I copy/paste the code manually? I would appreciate a walkthrough, please & thank you. |

Just wait till the next release (normally every Friday). This is just the standard way that Kovid let's you know it has been fixed.
