Normally in genealogy we use ibid for this, which is better than just a name because it signals a repeat.

That does not repeat the source, but will indicate it's a repeat. If it is already checked, try unchecking it and see if that fixes the problem. There's more settings though to play around with. Report menus have their own settings. When you select a report, you there is a tab for Sources which are additional options. You can play around with those and preview the differences. It just takes a little time to get used to it. I'm sorry this isn't more helpful but just wanted to let you know that there are many options to look for. I wish I could be more specific.
