problem with inserting metadata

Searching the forum, I couldn't find anything about my metadata problem so here goes.

I use the latest version of Calibre (3.46).
Lately I have a problem with inserting metadata in my epub's. The metadata doesn't show up when I open the epub.

This is what I do.
In the Edit Metadata window I download the metadata which then shows up in the Comments screen.
I click OK and then I click Convert Books, I click Structure Detection and tick the box "insert metadata as page at start of book".
After the conversion (to epub) the metadata doesn't show up when I open the epub in ADE or on my Kobo ereader.
When I click Edit Book I open the jacket.xhtml file and all the metadata is there. How strange.

NB When I convert to kepub and open the epub with ADE or on my ereader all the metadata is there.

Is there something I do wrong? How can I solve this problem because I want to keep converting to epub.
