I too always use the forward button just above sign-off. This is, indeed, an error and a bug report was forwarded to AC.
Bug reports are the way to forward info to them, they do not consistently read the user board. I'm sure it will be fixed.
It's interesting that apparently only new users are having this problem. It probably relates to the fact that older users have developed a set path and are not looking for other ways to do things, like forward charts.
I will occasionally hit control S but usually just hit the forward button. I rarely go to the menu buttons.
