I am experiencing an issue where newly created flashcards are not disappearing from the “Add” screen after I add them to my deck in Anki. Normally, after a card is added, it should vanish from the “Add” window and the next card creation form should be ready, but the current card remains visible until I manually delete it.

What i have tried

- looked at all the settings but couldnt find “Close window after adding card,”
- Cleared cache and restarted Anki.
- deleted and reinstalled anki
- Tried using a different deck, but the issue continues.
- Verified no conflicting settings in Anki preferences.

I am on a macbook pro and would appreciate any help!  
Thank you in advance

Do you have sticky fields? There’s a pin icon in the window near every field which makes the text stick even after the card is created.
