This doesn't happen every time I download metadata in bulk, but when it does it does it for all books I'm editing.
It wouldn't be quite as annoying if the tags I put in were added to my tags, but they aren't so I may type "historical fiction" ten times, because I have "history" and have to do the above process each time.(Yes, I do add "history" then edit)
Suggestions?

Are you deleting the previous book that used that same Tag?
Calibre cleans up many of the DB entries when the last use goes away.
Some folk create a DummyTags book that has the TAGS they want to use elsewhere (no formats)
If disk space is an issue: Just open the MDE and delete the format, that leaves the metadata (and lookup help) intact.
