Question: why 2024.1 now jumps to END of next execution cell when evaluating current cell?

Something seems to have changed.  I do not now have Maple 2024.0 to check or earlier Maple's as I have to reinstall windows since my C:\ drive died. 

I installed Maple 2024.1 new on windows 10 home edition.

I noticed now when evaluating the current cell, the cursor automatically jumps to next cell, which is what I want and how Maple always worked.

But now the cursor jumps to the end of the command in the next cell. Before, I could swear that not how it worked and it used to jump to the start of the next cell.

This makes it very confusing, as I keep looking for where the cursor is now.

Why was this changed in 2024.1? I looked at option and see nothing to change this. 

Here is worksheet and small movie. 

This is my display options

Update

I tried to change the cursor size and thickness in windows 10 itself (using settings->Ease of access->Text cursor) and made it much bigger and restarted Maple but this had no effect. Cursor inside Maple remained the same.

I was hoping if there is a way to make the cursor bigger then this will make it easier to see where it jumped to when hitting enter.

It is bad, since the Maple cursor jumps to random places in the next cell. sometimes it jumps to the middle of the code in the next cell when there are more than one line there.

Here is a movie. Notice how it jumped to the start of the second line now in next cell in one case and not to the end of the code.

I can't believe no one at Maplesoft have noticed this and is able to fix it. This is ridiculous behavior. I spend few seconds each time I hit enter looking for where the cursor has landed as I keep looking at start of the next cell and it is not there. I could have 10-20 lines of code in one cell and have too look to find where the cursor is hidden in these 20 lines.

It natural for one to look for where the cursor is when woking and this makes it annoying. Hopefully someone can find a way to tell Maple to bring the old behaviour back where cursor jumps always to the start of the next cell.
