How do I keep Word comments open while adding Zotero references in Microsoft Word for Mac?

I'm using Zotero 6.0.4 in Microsoft Word for Mac Version 16.54 (21101001).

Each time I add a reference, Word comments close. I've tested various reviewing modes and I can't figure out how to stop this from happening. I did not notice this behavior with Zotero 5.x.x - so it's possible that it's new. While I can click on "Comments" in the top right of Word to reopen comments, the problem is that I am adding references USING TEXT IN THE COMMENTS. (This is a common functionality when writing collaboratively with a single author being responsible for the Zotero library.)

My current workaround is to copy the text in the comment to a separate text file (or to the working file inline) while I add the reference. Obviously this is not ideal.
