So version 24.xx appears to be hard coded for this annoyance. Having reverted back to the older version, I DON’T see any of that nonsense like when I had the 24.xx release installed. 24.xx is just one huge headache the everyday user needs to avoid until 24.xx has a hot flat iron ran across it and made user friendly. That’s the best answer I can give at the present time unfortunately.
