Unable to add a source from source linker for a new spouse.
John Hymers has two existing spouses named Eliza (probably a duplicate).
The Source Linker suggested a spouse named Caroline.
Clicking on Change Spouse - None of the Above does nothing and I cannot add Caroline as a new spouse for John Hymers.

I've fiddled a bit, and it does look impossible to create a new spousal relationship in the source linker for someone who has the source linked to the existing spouse. For consistency of function, it does seem that choosing "None of the Above" under Change Spouse should move all other spouses down to the Others On Record section and allow the dragging of the new spouse into the proper box whether the source has been linked to the spouse or not. So this does seem to be a bug.
(On a side note, it looks like Caroline is actually son Sam's wife, not John's.)
Here is how it is suppose to work:
The difference here, is that Sam's existing "first" wife does not have the source linked to her.
@ScottSeegmiller , here is an experiment I'll leave up to you. What happens if you detach the source from Eliza then try to change spouse to none of the above? Does that let you drag Caroline under her father-in-law and give the ability to add her as a spouse?
Even if that work around does work, this is a bug that should be fixed.

@Gordon Collett I will play with it. I want the developers to see it before I do.
