I am using Mint Linux 17.3 KDE.
I did not update yet, and everything on this computer works very well, so I am reluctant to install a new system(*) at this moment. Especially with the recent inclusion of systemd ;-).
My Calibre is up to date, but I have plugins installed, some of them even modified by me, and I carry over my configuration directory, so there might be options I have set years ago (and forgot about them).
I was suggesting that you create a metadata plugboard and create a new title field using {title} template not as a permanent workaround, but as an experiment to see where the problem is.
When that fails, try to insert a string instead of {title} and see what happens.
I want to help my fellow Mint Linux user.
Tomorrow I will experiment on a vanilla Mint Linux 18 XFCE that I have installed on another computer inside a virtualbox for similar occasions. I have installed Calibre today in that virtual machine and did not make any configuration yet.
(*) the new system will be eventually installed on a new root partition that I have ready, so I can dual-boot into the old and perfectly working system in case I run into problems. I always reserve two primary partitions for installing the root, so I can install the new system onto a partition now used by a current system. I keep /home/ partition separately and mount if from both systems.
