ClickItem is selecting each drop-down item in latest TestComplete instead of required item

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this in latest version of TestComplete. 15.52.2.7

 

I have keyword test(s), where for a drop-down control I am using ClickItem to select a specific entry. Previous versions of TestComplete just selected the specified item immediately. Now test complete is selecting each item in the drop-down until it finds the specified item. If the list is too long, it selects items until a timeout occurs even if the specified item has not yet been found.

This is a problem as some of the dropdown items trigger pop ups and add or remove controls from the screen when selected. Meaning my test is now encountering unexpected/missing controls.
