New update now logs me out when idle. Bug?

While busy in RL, I'll sometimes sit at a paying bench to earn some L$. To prevent being logged out for inactivity, I unchecked the "Go Away/AFK When Idle" option in the Client/Character/Character Test menu item.

This worked like a charm until the latest optional update (1.17.1(0)), where this no longer works. Even when unchecked, my avatar shows me as being "away" and then involuntarily logged out after 30 minutes for inactivity.

Is this a bug, or an intentional change?

I call it a feature :)
