Problem with copy and paste metadata in Bridge

Bridge v13.0.2.636 in Windows 10, jpeg files so embedded data, no xmp.

I am copying metadata from the Bridge Essentials workspace to an external DAM

First selected image works fine. When I select the next and subsequent images, the content of the Headline, Description and Keywords fields do not change until I click in the content box (i.e. inside the headline box, the description bo, then the keywords box) the blue outline of the box moves and the new content appears. However if I return to the first (headline) box and hit ctrl+c to copy the data, it copies the keyword data, and vice versa). The focus (faint blue highlight) on the title (i.e. the word "keyword" etc,) is still on the keyword area even though I have tried to copy the data from within the headline box. If I click on the actual word "headline" the focus moves and everything works as expected. So I have to click inside each box, then go back and click on the word then select the data within the content box and copy it, then do all of these actions for the decription, then again for the keywords.

Previously the content updated automatically when I selected a file and I could simply go into each box in turn, select and copy the data.
