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.
Thaank you.

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.
