Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere... I upgraded to version 3.5 from version 2.82. Using Win 8.1 on HP Pavilion. I have been frustrated by two changes? in the update.

I usually did some editing of book metadata in the main view by highlighting the text to change and then over typing it. Now this action is refused by bumping out of the cell and down into some other cell below it. I can only inline edit if I first delete the date and then go back to type it in. Very minor but a pain if one does a lot of editing in this mode.

Secondly, when in the book detail view, cutting and pasting into the comment section (paste & match style) from different sources such as from within a book, causes a complete shut-down of calibre. Poof, just gone. This had gone away as a problem for about two years but whatever fixed it or caused it appears to have returned.

Thank you for all the other improvements and for the high quality program you have created and maintained. Sorry to bother you with these little bits but sometimes they can come from/cause other bigger issues, so FYI. Thanks for any help.
