Is there some new setting I am missing?
What OS?

Works for me on Windows 10.

But I prefer to use the Edit metadata->Copy metadata option and deal with it either where I paste it, or in a text editor before I paste it - this works when the Book details panel is hidden.

The Copy and Paste shortcuts are customised - defaults are None.
