Wondering if anyone else has seen this.
When I start calibre 7.5.1 it opens the last library used with the topmost book (based on the current sort sequence) selected… as it always has.
But the Book details panel shows the the most recently added book. After delay of 1-5 seconds the book details panel will align to the selected book. The length of the delay appears to be based on the number of custom columns rather than the number of books - i.e. my Test library which has 80+ custom columns and < 100 books, is a lot slower than my journals library which has 5 custom columns and > 100,000 books.
It happens on a vanilla install of calibre portable 7.5.1 as well as my regular install of 7.5.1, which suggests its not an optional plugin like View Manager. And it doesn't happen on a vanilla install of calibre portable 6.29.
It's disconcerting, with no apparent side-effects.
Here's the startup debug
