I have never had any problem with Calibre, (using it since 0.7), I am wondering if I have stumbled on a bug?

I suspect you somehow:
a) lost Adobe Acrobat as the default 'Open With'
or b) Somehow set PDF filetype to open with Calibre

By default, calibre lets the OS installed PDF viewer prevail

Using you file manager, set Adobe Reader (or other PDF viewer) as the default 'Open With'
Uninstalling Acrobat, the reinstalling should fix the linkage
