Select box Edit Problem in Win 10
Ever since v4.2 of Calibre I have had a problem with data entry into the selection boxes in the Edit Metadata popup (Tags, Author, Series). I can only enter text by mouse clicking after each key.
This is obviously only a problem with my system as otherwise I am sure others would be mentioning it. My request is; what changed after version 4.2 that would cause my system to have this issue. If there was something, I can maybe change my system to get around the problem. Thank You |

How do you move between fields in the MDE?

This is some program on your computer interfering with calibre run in safe mode and see if the problem disappears to confirm.

I have the exact same problem. I did not try the safe mode reboot as I figured for now it's not a huge deal (worse comes to worst, pasting in the edit box still works so...).

Problem Resolved
Thank you for the replies.
However, I have not changed anything on my system (that I am aware of) but today the problem went away. (I didn't get round to trying Safe Mode to see if that was a solution). So - I have no idea what the issue was, but it is now resolved. |

Possibly something that auto-updates, e.g. security suites, browsers, cloud storage etc, have a look in Control Panel->Programs and Features.
