This has been a known issue for a long time. See PG's responses in this thread:

Knowing why it happens (and as a person who posted in some of those previous years-old threads, I'm familiar with the issue) doesn't make it any less annoying when it does.

I was well aware that there have been other threads, but if we bug them enough they might change it. =)
