Bulk Edit for Metadata after update to 4.14
Hi - i just processed the 4.14 update for MAC. Functionality to edit metadata in bulk used to have a scroll bar on the right to move between all the field. Now it is just one large screen as the scroll bar is missing.

Ditto in Windows 10 Pro 1909, same messed up layout too.

You could revert to a previous version, not sure what's involved on a Mac, you shouldn't lose any data (books, settings) - previous versions are here

The problem is in the custom column tab.

Win 10 64bit Pro 1909, 2560x1400 Dell Monitor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

I don't use Bulk edit often, so I'm not bothered by it, I can use an older Portable version if needed.

Hopefully not more Qt video adapter driver shenanigans.

The problem is the custom metadata tab. To reproduce the problem, I went to the Basic metadata tab and made it small. This has a scroll-bar. Then I changed to the Custom metadata page. This doesn't have a scroll bar and the fields are cramped like in @bluepiggy42's screenshot. For it to happen, it needs a lot custom columns.

Edit: I need to refresh my open threads.

And it works. Of course.

Yes, and it's back to 4.13 for me, as there is no way I can use that tab

How many items do you have in your custom metadata? I only have 7 or 8 items and need to shrink the window from Basic metadata or Search and replace to get it short enough to trigger the issue. Looking at the BetterRed's image, he has 29 or so items stuffed into that window.

@DNSB - that was my Test library, it's a custom coulomb scrap yard. I just checked my Media library and its Bulk MDE->Custom metadata is likewise screwed, but I rarely use the Bulk MDE Basic or Custom metadata tabs - unless I'm looking at a problem reported here

One of my libraries has 8 custom columns and it's not a problem.
