Book Details panel suddenly not scrollable

When I opened Calibre today, I encountered a weird problem with the book details panel (on the right side of the main book list). I cannot scroll down the panel to read comments and description. That is, I can if I click-click-click the vertical scrollbar, but not using touchpad or mouse. Needless to say, it's very annoying. I've searched in Preferences, but could not find anything to solve the problem. Perhaps someone here has a suggestion?
The main book list is still scrollable as always.
Calibre 2.16 64-bit, Windows 8.1

@Sirtel - I think this relates

I'm not sure when exactly, but sometime recently thought I noticed that the Book Details panel could no longer be paged up/down via the keyboard, and that I couldn't tab between link fields - but at the time I thought I might be misremembering.

I just did a check, keyboard scrolling of book details, and tabbing through links can be done in 1.48, but not 2.9 or later, so maybe it changed with 2.0.

If I have a lot of text in the book details sidebar, and I want to read it, I tap 'I' to bring up the free floating Book Details window, which does get keyboard focus.

Another alternative might be to install one of the gadgets that allows the mouse wheel to be used to scroll windows that don't have focus - I use one called Wizmouse, not sure if they work with track pads.

It 'sort of' makes sense that Book Details never gets keyboard focus, because there's nothing there that can be changed. A side effect is that it prevents the use of the keyboard to navigate and scroll, and use of the enter key to action the current link.

Thank you, BetterRed. Actually restarting the computer did the trick and the panel is now scrollable again. But still weird.

I've noticed occasionally that having a trackpad and mouse active can cause weird issues, not specifically with calibre. I've overcome by disabling the trackpad - I loathe them more I loathe mouses
