I've recently come across the issue stated in the title. I've turned the setting off and on again, tried with the setting on and off, and it keeps automatically swapping to the new tab 95% of the time. There are a couple times that it wont swap but it more than certainly happens on the 2nd try. I believe this started happening after update 148 was installed.
