Send all thanks to Apple - this is how the OS behave now - I find it extremely annoying, but AFAIK the app has no control over it, because they come as regular open request to the app. That said, nothing really changed on the R side - we didn't touch the R.app for almost a year, so whatever you may be seeing has to do wither with your OS or the build you picked.
