Are there any specific driver used for editing metadata?
Editing metadata will use:
  • the hard disc driver to fetch all the metadata for the book
  • the graphics driver to paint the window, including the covers
  • the mouse driver for the obvious reasons
  • the network driver if you download metadata
  • the hard disc (again) to write the metadata
Also, all the standard drivers such as the bus and IO subsystem will be used, but I think we can put those aside.

Given that the message explicitly mentions a driver and stack overflow my guess is that BetterRed has it right, your graphics system is buggy. There are a lot of widgets in the edit metadata window. Perhaps the complexity exceeds what the graphics driver can handle. Failing might require that something else be running in the background behind calibre, which could increase the load on the graphics subsystem. It also could be time related, requiring something else to happen on the computer to increase the stack size required.

Too bad it doesn't tell you the driver name.
