How to turn off 'new command window spawning' in the newest spyder when running another program from python

I spend a lot of time running programs from python using the subprocess module. One of my scripts uses the check_call command to run a program from the command line around 600 times. Today I updated to Spyder 3 and when I run this script I get a pop up which looks like this enter image description here

This stays for the duration of the program (a few seconds) then disappears but then another appears to replace it as my programs uses the check_call command again. This behavior is very disruptive as it means I can't just run a long program in the background on my machine whilst working on something else. Also this was never a problem on the old version of Spyder I had. Does anybody know how to turn this very annoying behavior off?

(Spyder dev here) If I'm not mistaken, now you need to pass the parameter shell=True to all subprocess commands you're using to avoid this problem.
