Since updating to Calibre 1.44 I've twice had the program hang-up after editing the metadata for a book. I click the "OK" button on the "Edit Individual Metadata" screen, and the program just sits there. It still appears to be "alive" - all the functions on the Edit Metadata dialog work, but the page can't be dismissed with either the "OK" or "Cancel" buttons. The only way out is to kill the program. This is with 32-bit Calibre on Windows 7.

It's a random thing - I've been able to edit the metadata numerous times without problems - but it has now occurred twice. I've never had this happen in any previous version of the program.

A difficult one to diagnose, I know, but I thought I should make you aware of it.

I've checked my Calibre database for problems, and it's found none.
