Is there a way to prevent ghosting of active component?

When I'm working on bodies and sketches in a new component, I'm always making the top level component active so I can turn off the ghosting and see the design better.  Subsequently, I often forget to active the component again when I create new sketches, construction planes, bodies, etc.

 

So the newly added features have the wrong parent.  And, I find I can't reparent them back to the correct component, probably due to dependencies between bodies and sketches.

 

Anyway, for me it seems a "set up" to constantly have things with the wrong parent.  Maybe after I get burned a few more times I'll make sure I focus on getting the correct component activated before doing anything.  

 

I don't understand why ghosting of the active component is done.  Seems to me everything BUT the active component should be ghosted.  

 

But can I just turn off the ghosting feature?

Active component visibility.

You find it under Preferences -> General -> Design and the option at the top.
