@arendpeter I have the same issue, it's still happening and I have no option in settings to disable it. I updated today, so if there were any settings to do so it would be here, on latest.
I hope they can correct this behavior, because it's counter-intuitive and potentially unintentional, however it has been this way for around 2 years since you made this post, so I don't think it's likely they'll fix it any time soon.
