Broken 4.9

[jiembe]

I install Calibre 4.9 on my Windows 7 and Windows 10 PCs. There is a flaw in this version in both system.

When editing the Comments in the metadata switching from HTML Source to Normal view I get this TypeError message:unbound method toPlainText() must be called with PlainTextEdit instance as first argument (got QPlainTextEdit instance instead)

I can reproduce this.
