Adding Citation - Window opens

When adding an Existing Source Citation to a fact using the Add Citation button, the Citation window always opens, and I have to close it immediately before proceeding. I realise it is a floating window and can be dragged elsewhere.

I have no need to view that window, as invariably, I have created it myself only seconds/minutes before. I understand many/most(?) others do not work this way, but it suits me.

Is there an option to suppress this opening? I have tried looking/searching but probably not looking for the right thing.

Thanks

The reason the Citation Window opens is so that you can add any citation-specific details for this paticular citation. However if you have only just created the Source (possibly with citation details) and cited it once and you now want to add exactly the same Source/Citaion combination to another fact you can use the Copy Citation to Source Clipboard button to copy it from the first fact and then use Paste Citation from Source Clipboard to paste it to the next fact. The Citation Window is by-passed completely.

Magic, I suspected there might well be a work around.

I'll use that
