Arena games start automatically since a few days

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone else saw this as well. I play a lot in Arena mode and since a few days, when I press "play again" or stay on the overview page of the game for arena, the search starts automatically. This lead to games that started unnoticed.
In the past staying on the page or pressing "play again" did not directly result in a new arena game search.
One might argue, don't press that button but planning to play again in a few minutes but going quickly away to grab a drink and such is not unusual and since in the past I actively had to press the search I was a bit surprised.

Browser being used is Firefox 140.0.2, might need to check if it happens on others.

Can anyone confirm this change?

and probably others.
