OK, this is what happens: On the mouse button "Paste and match style" does not work.
Paste with mouse and ctrl/v works in the "comments" area but will not paste at all even ctrl/v in the series, author or title fields.
When using paste in comments area, it is copied with source formatting, making it unusable. I can paste into notepad, from there to the comments area, allowing me to loose the formatting from the original source. But still cannot paste into the series/author/title fields.
This happened immediately after upgrading to 2.0 and it works fine when going back to 1.48. Same problem going up to 2.2. The problem is definitely to do with the upgraded calibre on my computer.
I have no clipboard enhancement. Just checked with CCleaner if maybe there is something I did not realise. Nothing

@
faniediv - I don't normally cut and paste into the Metadata Editor.
I just did a some tests, I didn't find anything that didn't meet my expectations, I did discover that the results depend on the source - some sources seem to scrub the text (e.g. my firefox & chrome browsers), whereas the others don't (e.g calibre viewer).
See attachment for one test I did, I repeated the test on 1.48 and I couldn't discern any difference in behaviour or results. Added a 2nd one showing a cut and paste into title & author
I suggest you either terminate any other software that's running, including what's in the tray, and/or try running calibre in Safe Mode.
