I haven't had the opportunity to try moving the window to the side so I can't really say. I plan to try this the next time it happens. I seem to recall being able to click on things that were visible behind the metadata window though. I will try the debug thing if it happens again. Unfortunately I can't seem to make it happen by opening up the metadata dialog on random books and then clicking ok.

This happened after I added 10 empty book entries and the bug occurred only 2 times out of 10 after editing the metadata and clicking ok.

I won't be able to do anything more unless it turns up again. I have a feeling that it probably won't happen unless I'm actually making changes which it needs to save. It seemed to freeze up when saving the changes, and then the changes did get saved, but the window just wouldn't close after.

I will provide more information when/if this happens again.

I don't actually have any plugins that enhance the user interface on Calibre.

The only plugins I have installed are EpubMerge, EpubSplit, KindleUnpack, Search The Internet, and DeDrm. All of these are plugins that just sit there doing nothing unless you specifically use them, so I'm not sure how they could effect the metadata dialog window.

If you meant software that enhances the Windows interface in general, the only thing I have installed is something called Taskbar Tweaker which lets me disable those annoying little thumbnail images that popup when you hover over a program on the taskbar because the Microsoft gods didn't see fit to include a disable option.
