Extrude keeping settings from previous extrude operations

I'm having an odd... issue? I'm not sure if it's intended behavior. My extrusion dialog box has begun to keep all settings from the extrude preceding it, including direction, extent type, distance, taper etc.

 

So as an example, I create an extrusion:

If I then try to extrude another sketch it's automatically filling in the distance from the previous extrusion. It does the same thing for extent type and direction when making more complex models, and even keeps them between files.

Does anyone know how to disable this? I would prefer to start from a clean slate as far as settings go, and this has only started happening recently.

This behavior has been reported and acknowledge by the Autodesk Fusion 360 team as a bug.  I really do not see why this is an issue though.  You are going to change the extrude distance value anyway so why does it matter if it comes up on the previous value.  Before this issue it defaulted to zero, you were going to have to change it anyway.

 

I am sure you will see an update soon with a fix.

It's really only a workflow issue. It's less that the distance is being kept than the extent type and other settings are, as they aren't auto-highlighted to be changed.

It matters in that if the value doesn't work with the next extrude, Fusion completely freezes because it starts calculating and building an Animation and throwing errors for a value that is known not to work or would make problems, for me Fusion freezes for like 10 minutes until it throws one of those nondescriptive errors and admits it can't make the extrude or cut command. then i can continue. 

Especially that it carries the value over to a completely different Body, not even just through extrudes on the same body.
