This is not fixable. See the New in calibre 4.0 under Backwards incompatibilities:

There are a few minor backwards incompatibilities to be aware of in calibre 4, because of the replacement of Qt WebKit with Qt WebEngine.

The Book details panel now no longer uses a full browser engine for rendering. This makes it faster and less resource intensive, however it supports less HTML and CSS, which means if you used advanced styling in your comments it may not fully work. See here for the supported HTML subset.

The QT rich text widget ain't what it used to be.

On a nastier side, this has been mentioned multiple times in this forum. See the threads at How to format all books comments (book details panel)? or Problem in metadata editor or Book Detail corrupted for examples. Those 3 results came up in the same search limited to the last 3 months.
