Metadata Editor errors

Since recently I get the following error when I try to edit metadata with Metadata Editor:

Code:
calibre 4.6  embedded-python: False is64bit: True
Linux-5.4.6-2-MANJARO-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5 Linux ('64bit', 'ELF')
('Linux', '5.4.6-2-MANJARO', '#1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 24 15:55:20 UTC 2019')
Python 2.7.17
Linux: ('', '', '')
Interface language: None
Successfully initialized third party plugins: DeDRM (6, 6, 3) && Inept Epub DeDRM (0, 1, 7) && djvumaker (1, 0, 2) && Annotations (1, 11, 0) && Modify ePub (1, 4, 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/widgets.py", line 522, in event
    ev.key() in (Qt.Key_Left, Qt.Key_Right) and (ev.modifiers() & ~Qt.KeypadModifier) == Qt.ControlModifier):
AttributeError: 'QResizeEvent' object has no attribute 'key'
Any idea? Could it be related to python (FYI: Manjaro Linux made some changes to python-pyqt5 and pyqt5-common packages in their last update)?

P.S. I downloaded and installed the official Calibre package from the Calibre website and it works normally. It seems Arch & Manjaro packages are affected.

You should never download any Linux Calibre distro. Always download from the official Calibre website. Most distros are screwed up in some way.

There are only a few Linux distros that are even close to being current.

And those have members of this community doing the work

At least use the Calibre site version when you have issues (to see if it was fixed or the distro folk Know Better on how the needed tools should work)

Thanks for the info, guys.
Arch & Manjaro Calibre builds are relatively recent (usually 1-2 weeks behind). I hadn't experienced any problems with their builds up until now. I'll probably just stick with Calibre website version since it's now installed and running OK on my machine.
