This looks like the classic hidden window problem. The source detail
screen is opening but it is not visible because it may be behind the
Legacy window or may be outside the boundaries of your monitor. Some
things you can try to make that hidden window appear:
1: Tap the Alt key, if the screen is behind the legacy window that may
bring it to the top and make it visible.
2. Hold down Alt and tap the space bar. That will open a Windows
generated menu on the active (source detail) window. If the Source
Detail window is outside your monitor boundaries then menu will show up
at the side of the monitor where the lost window is located. Choose move
from the menu and your mouse pointer will change to a four-point arrow.
Use the arrow keys to move that menu toward the centre of your monitor
and you should see the "missing" screen move into view. When it is
positioned correctly hit enter to exit the move mode.
3. If you have multiple monitors make sure they are all on. The source
detail screen may be on the screen of a monitor which is off.

Running latest version of Legacy 9 on Windows 10. I haven't had as much
time to work on family tree stuff lately, but reviewed a lot of the
posts for the user group and didn't see this mentioned. When I am
adding information to a specific individual, ie an obituary to someone
already in the file, I am having trouble adding a source to the
information. I click on the "books" to add a source. That window opens
as it always did. I click on "cite a master source" to choose a source
from my list and am able to find and click on the source that I choose.
It is added as expected, but then the "detail" window does not
automatically open. So I click on "edit detail" amd the program locks
up. I tried it again just mow and added a "junk" source to myself.
When I went to remove that source, again it locks up. I don't know if
anyone else is seeing this or if it might be something with my computer
set up. Thanks for checking.
