Can anyone see if it happens to them also ?

Thanks in advance.
Yeah those are known about (or at least the multiple author one is), I just so rarely hit that scenario I haven't been bothered to do something about it . It is "supposed" to only use the first author in that circumstance but likely something has changed over the years with calibre (or perhaps it was always broken).

I will take a look...

EDIT: Ok I can see the problem. A davidfor change in 1.8.0 several years ago - where he changed it to support templates, unfortunately completely missing the point of all the sanitisation leading up to that line of code. So it is passing through the original book metadata, not the "safe to use in a URL query" version of the title and authors. Back to the drawing board a bit on that one.
