I'm guessing it somehow ends up behind the main window.

This behaviour is consistent and repeatable on this computer. The workaround for now is to right-click and select Edit Metadata. This usually seems to work.

(Calibre 3.0.0, 64-bit. Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit. Build 15063)
I've had same symptoms, but intermittently, in calibre version 2.xx on Windows 7 and 10, most often (maybe only) in Preferences-Plugin->Configure plugin.

I've always put it down to my fat fingers and/or my window enhancers (Actual Tools), so I've never reported it.

FWIW: NirSoft's GUIPropView utility lists all active windows and there's a Bring to Top option.
