I just updated my Electrum software to the most recent 4.1.5 version.
After every install, I always check the preferences and settings to make sure that no unwanted changes were made or if some new features were added. I noticed that the "Use Change Addresses" option is unticked by default in 4.1.5. I can't remember from the older Electrum versions if this was ticked or unticked and why the developers would make changes if there were indeed made. My change has in the past always gone to change addresses.
When you can, please check your Electrum apps and let me know if this option is ticked or unticked in your settings.
The way it is now, what happens with my change?
Should I tick this option?
My brain froze, I just can't remember how this looked like in the past...

I'm used to use the portable version and in my freshly 4.1.5. of Electrum that version was unticked by default which has also surprised me. I am firmly aware that in the older portable versions that box was ticked by default. I have ticked it back as that's the way I operate when sending transactions. Now I'm wondering what would happen with change if it were left unticked. Would the change go to the source address?
