Zotero switches panes to search for citation

Lmcd898
I am using Zotero 7 and Word 16.98 for Mac M4, and if I try to include a citation then the searchbar popup forces word to be temporarily minimised until the citation is found which is quite janky and annoying. This happens on both classic and new search styles. Is there any way that I can get the search feature to pop up without having to leave word?

    If you're using Word in full-screen mode, macOS switches you out of full-screen mode in order to display the citation dialog, which is part of the Zotero app.

    If you're just using Word in a window, Zotero should generally show the citation dialog on top of Word and leave the main Zotero window in the background.

    It doesn't "minimize" Word under any circumstances.

    hi, thanks for the response. When I'm in full screen mode, the citation search switches tabs completely away from word (to just the search box and homescreen) while I search, and then switches back to the word doc when the citation is found. For now what I'm doing as a workaround is to have the word doc not on fullscreen but almost fullscreen, which basically works fine. Would be very helpful if zotero searchbar could pop up in front of word even on fullscreeen. Thanks again
