It has certainly been experienced by at least one other (me) some time ago - but seemed to resolve itself and has not re-occurred(Touch wood!) There was nothing specific that I recall doing which resolved the issue - for instance I always shut down both Legacy and my PC, I did not do a check repair that I recall (problem resolved before I got to that point from what I remember). But it was certainly a problem for a few days - source detail was being replaced with random - often single - characters. And no, nothing to do with Source Writer as I always use basic sources.

In other words, the only way I can replicate your problem is to make a human error. I'm not saying that's what happened to you, but as you probably know, intermittent problems that only a handful of users experience are the hardest to identify a cause and fix.
