Most of the time, my newly-selected rating will disappear. I have gotten used to selecting my rating, moving to a different row, then reselecting the original row before doing anything else with it. It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough that I always click on another row after selecting a rating, just to make sure it sticks.

The problem is that Qt, calibre's GUI toolkit, specifically allows menus to be activated while editing a widget. You can select a menu item and it can do 'things' without opening a dialog or otherwise taking keyboard focus, leaving the editor open. If one of those 'things' resets/changes the information for selected book then the editor will be abandoned and edits will be lost. Avoiding this behavior is outside of my Qt-fu. As far as I can tell calibre doesn't know it is happening.
Workarounds:
- press Enter
- press left or right arrow
- click on a different column on the same book
