It definitely was the original design and I know it was doing this for a very long time. It is possible that this changed unintentionally in the last release of the software. I will check on it and get it put back if that is the case.
Is there an option to disable this behaviour?

Automatic synchronization of the clock is certainly very convenient in most cases, but I can think of scenarios, where relative clock accuracy on the calculator over certain known periods of time is much more important than absolute accuracy and where "accidently" changing the clock on the calculator might mess up on-going calculations involving time or may render measurement data useless, if their relative distance in time isn't known and cannot be reconstructed any more. So, as with most features, there should be an option to disable it (ideally on the calculator rather than in CK, so the "don't sync clock" flag can be set programmatically in kind of a mutex if needed).

Greetings,

Matthias
