New track added each time REC is pressed

MAC OS Sierra 10.12.5

Hi,

After installing Audacity 2.1.3 a new track is added each time REC is pressed! This means when pressing STOP button for changing side of the LP and then press REC again to continue recording a new track is added below the first one. Is this correct?
This happen also when I start from a blank panel choosing New track in the drop down menu. A New track is shown but when pressing REC another track is added. I expect that recording will start on the first added track I made from the drop down menu!
Can't remember this happened in the previous version of Audacity!

Kind regards
Thomas

You can either P pause the recording and then P start it up again, or Stop the recording and Shift-R append record.
