I think this is a bug, and an inconsistent one at that.  The basic source 
detail screens should appear if you are attempting to edit a basic source, but 
I agree that sometimes (and it is only sometimes, not always), the SourceWriter 
detail screen will appear.  I have not noticed a pattern, but I rarely use 
Basic Sources any more.  (I do have many of them from earlier versions of 
Legacy, and even from gedcoming in from another program almost a decade ago).

Have you tried backing out of the screen, perhaps changing to another person, 
or even restarting the program and trying again?

Perhaps someone who still uses the Basic Source system has more info, but then 
perhaps the problem doesn't occur if one doesn't have a mixture of Basic and 
Sourcewriter sources in their database?
