Previously, Calibre 4.8 running in the Windows 7 VM had no such problem.

VirtualBox is v. 6.1 (running in Linux Mint 18.3) and has the 6.1 guest additions CD installed.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing?

Someone else posted that he was running Calibre with Linux in a VM under Windows 10. His solution was to run Calibre under Windows 10 and dump the VM. Creating a VM just to run Calibre is a really bad idea.
