Strange pop-up on v8 when trying to add citations

When trying to add citations working in Word, this pop-up comes up. Not what I was used to and very tricky to use (tricky to get right publication up and nowhere to add text or page numbers).

This is the new citation dialog in Zotero 8.

What do you mean by "tricky to get right publication up"?

You can customize citations by clicking on the bubbles, the same way as in the default ("red bar") citation dialog in earlier versions.
