Download Metadata, Right Side (Metadata Area) Width
First, I try and always say that I appreciate Calibre. Between it and the plugins (particularly FanFicFare) my life has been made considerably easier since I used to do a lot of organization by hand and downloading webnovels/fanfiction by hand.
Anyway, I ran into a small issue in one of the latest updates and thought I'd share it to see if it's something that's a bug, or something that someone else can tell me how to fix. Yes, I have looked on the forums. First. My computer has dual 4k screen monitors, running Windows 10 (Dark Mode). I do have the latest update for Calibre installed. I am running 64 bit too. Most of that probably doesn't matter, but that's just for information. So when I updated recently the screen got quite a bit larger. I found on a recent forum post how to fix that (Preferences > Look & Feel > Interface Font option). When I did this it reset all my windows oddly. Actually made them tiny, some of them off the screen. Probably not as intended, but easy enough to fix. One thing I can't seem to fix is that when updating metadata on a per-book basis, the downloading metadata screen no longer allows me to adjust the width of the left side shown in the picture with the red line around it. Maybe it never did, but it was wider before, but I don't think that's true. Anyway, looking at the attached picture you can see how narrow it is. It's not unusable, but it is really annoying when I actually use it to check metadata. |

Strange, I could have sworn it was. Or maybe the font was smaller and I could read more. Your picture has it it about 20-30% wider than mine or the font size is smaller. (Look at the See at Goodreads, Google" area and you can see how much more space you have. Maybe that was enough that it didn't bother me as much, but it seems quite a bit narrower now.

Alright, I went and found an old version I had as a USB. Version 4.5. This is what they look like top/bottom. The bottom is the new version, and the top is the 4.5. You can see the difference in width. So while no, I can't adjust it, it was MUCH wider before, easily twice the width.
