You are Playing! Join the Game

Recently, in tournaments, I have been getting paired but NOT automatically joining the game. Instead, I get a little warning bar at the top with the message "You are Playing! Join the Game".

I don't know if that was intentional - but it feels like a bug. That warning is subtle - especially if you have opened a second window in order to analyze a previous game. Previously, peripheral vision would notice the massive change of a board appearing; now, I often don't notice right away - and actually lost a game recently because I didn't notice in time, and failed to move quickly enough once I did notice.

If this is not a bug, is it possible to have a setting, letting us go back to the original method? If it is a bug, could someone please look into it?

Thanks!
I think a board pops up in the main window and you get the warning in the second window for analysis.
