no, there isn't.

Unfortunately, I have another 4.9 bug to report, which is unaffected by that patch. In the standard calibre "library list" view, highlighting multiple ebooks and selecting "Edit metadata individually" (either by typing "e" or using the context menu) brings up the bulk editor instead.
Will be fixed in the next release.

EDIT: Almost forgot, there's another comments-editor bug that's persisted through at least the last few versions. When highlighting a boldface word or phrase from right to left, highlighting the "last" character (the first one in the word) causes the "bold" button to switch to "normal" status and neither clicking it nor pressing control-B has any effect. The selection stays bold, and only by highlighting from left to right can the it be debolded. The same goes for italics and underlined text, and it manifests in both the "review downloaded metadata" and "edit metadata individually" comment environments (which I expect use the same coding, but it's good to be thorough).
that's a limitation of QTextEdit, not much I can do about it. formatting style applies left of cursor. When you select from right to left, left of cursor is before the formatting. You can see this in action by simply moving the cursor without doing any selecting.
