Annoying auto preview of 2015.03

It seems that there's an "auto preview" set in this new release (2015.03,
Linux Mint x64). Whenever a document, say a.scad, is saved, It issues an
auto-preview OF ALL OPEN DOCs linked to a.scad.

This results in many unwanted previews and is extremely annoying, especially
when one of those linked to a.scad takes a long time to run.

Prior to this version, I've used up to 2015.02.01 nightly but didn't see
this behavior. It seems that it's added between 02.01 and 03.15. Can this at
least be set in the preference so users can shut it off ?

Some how the issue disappears. I thought that I'd try 2015.04.01.nightly (git
90094ff), and found that it doesn't have this issue.

Then I go back to 2015.03 again, and the issue is gone. No idea what
happened, it seems only happens on the very first run after installation.
