Calibre dropping 2nd name when there are multiple authors

I've been using Calibre to convert and create ebooks for many years. Some of those books have two authors. For instance: "John Smith & Jane Doe".

In the past I'd simple enter those names in the metadata fields for "Author(s)" and "Author sort", click convert, and the resulting ebook would have both names. Worked perfectly

However, it no longer works. Now when I convert or create a book with two authors Calibre drops the second name from the "Author sort" field, so that only the first author's name is present. Consequently, when I upload it to my Kindle it only shows the first author's name.

I've not changed any settings, so I don't know why this is started happening. Again, I've never experienced this problem in the past. I'd say it started with build 4.0.0.

I'm a novice with Calibre and not very technical in general, so please be patient with me and try to use laymen's terms. Thanks.
