@DaveM - The tag of “SOLVED” was just to indicate that the question/mystery of what was happening was solved, but the unwanted change in behaviour was not resolved. However, to use better wording, I have changed the post to a “question” type and marked it as answered.

As for an option to disable this new behaviour, I’d recommend adding this as an Idea in the Wish List category by following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know.

Not ideal, but about all we can do at this time.

If you do create a Wish List Idea post, I would also recommend that you post a link to it back here, so that future readers of this post can quickly get to and vote for your Idea.
