Copy Author Sort to Author isn't working

[SUzupis]

On an individual book, I try to copy author sort to author. First it takes a lot to even get the drop-down to show up (compared with the old version of Calibre), and then when I select the bottom option nothing happens.

I am running Calibre 2.0 on my mac.

This is caused by a change/bug in Qt 5 on OS X. You have to release the mouse button
first, and then click on the menu entry. So the steps are:

1) Hold down the mouse button to popup the menu
2) Release the mouse button when the menu pops up
3) Now click on the menu entry you want

I have reported the bug to Qt hopefully they will fix it so the behavior
goes back to what it was.
