Besides the fact that you don't like the behaviour, I'm pretty sure
this has been the behaviour for a quite some time. To verify, I just
tried an old 0.17 build and it behaves the same.
So, I think this is at least no new bug/regression of the Scintilla
update.

I think to remember we changed this some time in the past from the
behaviour you want and the current one. Changing it back probably would
cause new bug reports of those users who like the current behaviour :).
So, as often, the solution seems to be a new preference.
Still, I might be wrong. I'll have a closer look tomorrow and will try
to find the corresponding bug report (I think to remember there was
one).

No worries, posting bugs here on the list is fully ok.

Enrico
