Glad to hear it is working well.

Both are minor usability issues that can be put near the bottom of your list of priorities.

Sorry but the metadata gui dialog has become a modal dialog. The reason behind that was it allowed it to be built on the fly with an embedded python script doing much of the heavy lifting for epub3 (integrating in refines into the related dc meta tags and extracting them out again). This change also prevents a rare but nasty segfault due to Qt bugs when closing the MainDialog Window. It also prevents the user from editing the opf directly (or running plugins) while in the middle of metadata gui editing, all of which used to be potential issues in the past.
So that dialog will not be reverting to how it used to work. Copying to and from the clipboard still works. What exactly are you copying from an html file into the metadata gui editor and visa-versa, as the html metadata format is quite different than the opf metadata format? If you just want to copy pieces of an existing title page you can copy that page and paste into any other text app to grab before invoking the editor.
Also I am not sure what you mean by "let the Case tools to function in the metadata editor".
