Onshape started to extrude surface not a solid object from sketch.

Good day everyone.

Usually I extrude it directly from the sketch and Onshape start to extrude solid object.

But for the last two days, whenever I try to extrude from different sketches (I am not closing sketch and start to extrude immediately), it starts from the Surface tab. Maybe I missed some sort of settings? I tried different laptops, same issue.

    I think it's normal for Onshape to retain the previous selection in a following repeated feature. - Scotty

    This does highlight a really basic usability thing that drives me nuts. If you've accidentally selected the edges of the sketch instead of the face, you can't easily switch from extruding a surface to extruding a solid. You have to clear the selection and reselect the face. It seems really counter-intuitive to have to do this.
