I do not provide support for people using distro provided packages. If you are using a distro provided package, uninstall it and install the official calibre binary from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux and if you can reproduce the bug with that, re-open the ticket. Of course, if you are already using the official binary, apologies and feel free to re-open the ticket immediately :)
