Editor Error in Calibre 6.5
When trying to edit an ebook in Calibre 6.5 I repeatedly recieve the following error.

calibre, version 6.5.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:sequence item 38: expected str instance, CSSComment found

From further investigation the error seems to happen after clicking on Tools/Beautify all files.
I have re-downloaded and re-installed but the error still occurs.

You need to update DeDRM. 7.2.1 is obsolete and is not Calibre 6 compatible. You need to install DeDRM 10.0.3.

That didn't work - I'm still getting the error message.
I deleted the book I was working on and reloaded the book into calibre.
I changed a file name - worked ok.
Clicked on 'beautify all files'.
Tried to change a file name - error.
Tried to delete a file - error.
