I had Calibre installed fine on Ubuntu until several updates (of Calibre) ago, when it began garbling any metadata I was trying to enter. For instance, my name, "John Doe" would be "2Xror 3Frol" (making that up, but totally wrong.)

The backspace key won't work. It just seems totally messed up. Anyone else notice this or know what's wrong? I just updated again and it's still happening...grrr. Need to convert, help me.

I'm running it on VNC...could that be a factor?
