You are right it does do that. Usually when I hit the F3 key when on
the citation I get a message something like "Search not available"

First the recommendation in the manual used to be to use the tab key to
go from field to field in the data entry screen. this may date back to
the DOS version.

Second you have to click on the + Icon to get into the Citation screen
and then the F3 works correctly.
