MKV leaving index files? (.idxb)

I just had to reinstall the Avidemux qt5 git packages do to some dependency issue with it's AUR package (Arch Linux). Now I'm noticing that whenever I open an MKV file it will leave an index file inside the directory, just like mpeg files do. Is this some new behavior, or is something set funny? Not a fan of the index files if I can disable them.

Of course, this is intentional. Flushing the index to disk saves minutes of waiting when repeatedly opening large Matroska containers, please see https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/commit/4a023d770bdbb3731c108819a40f77dca7b4601b for the way to disable the feature.
