I'm just in the process of editing metadata on multiple large, scanned PDF files. I'm editing each book individually by calling up it's metadata edit dialog. Every five to seven files, the dialog won't close when I click OK, although the metadata gets updated. When I try to move the dialog, the dialog doesn't get redrawn, the close-button (the X from the window manager) doesn't have any effect at all. I'm able to use the tray icon's menu to close calibre and restart, which allows me to edit the next few files, but it's an annoyance nonetheless.
I don't know if this matters or not, but I'm Alt-Tabbing out of Calibre to check the metadata I want quite frequently.
I've tried getting the debug info via calibre-debug -g, but that has been rather concise and unhelpful, at least for me. See below.

Code:

Starting up...
Started up in 2.06299996376
get_metadata cache: 12 calls, 66.67% misses

My OS is XP SP3, I'm running Calibre 0.7.33 from the binaries.
I didn't raise a ticket yet because I'm rather short on any helpful debug info on this one.
Comments, please?

Edit for Update: I just found out that while the offending dialog window remains in the foreground, the program functions as usual, including opening new dialogs.
