BR,
You haven't fallen down the rabbit hole... You're actually in the anti-rabbit hole. You've flown up, not fallen down. Mind, you've still landed with a bump and a thump.

IIRC the functionality you're encountering is a fix for situations where exact matches, with the exception of character case, are treated as different database entries by calibre. So if you type Yale Law or yale law or yAlE lAw or other variant case combinations, calibre recognizes that you're referring to the same entity. However, it does assume you're correcting the spelling of that entity and changes all related records accordingly. Otherwise you would have chosen Yale Law when it came up as an option on the drop-down list.

I've been hit with it as well, but while correcting alternate spellings or phrasing among the entries in my database. I think any repeated entity within the database may experience this issue.
