Change case to Title fails with mix of upper and lower cases

Linux Mint 20.1 / Calibre 5.38

Take a phrase such as "EGYPTIAN, GREEK, RoMAN, MEDIAEVAL."

If you select the phrase, right-click and choose "Change case > Title", the command doesn't work (but it does if you specify other cases.). It seems that the relevant factor is the mix of upper and lower case letters.

FWIW I have always had to Lower then Title (for any variation of mixed case) since MSDOS days (80's). Clean (lower), then set.

So I find this not unusual and just do it out of habit

Yes because if it did what you expect it to it would clobber acronyms in titles.
