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 :)

Kovid, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. You were correct. Removed the distro version and installed directly from your site. Everything back to normal. Keep up the excellent work
