At some point this year a calibre update changed something with the way calibre deals with the Comments section. It is peculiar - here is what happens;

1. I add a book (format does not seem to matter).
2. Inside the Edit Metadata window I paste in the book description from somewhere (Amazon or Goodreads).
3. I move to a different book with Edit Metadata still open or close Edit Metadata.
4. calibre adds an extra line break between every paragraph, which I then have to go back into Edit Metadata and delete manually.
5. I grumble ineffectually

Can anyone explain how to stop this behavior with calibre?
