Latest Version of P4V Does Not Set Up A Resolve

I updated to the latest version of Perforce P4V (see below) and the behavior has changed.

I want to Submit a change list and must get the latest revision of a file to set up a resolve.

When I select the file from the Submit panel, right click and select the option "Get Latest Revision", perforce will just overwrite my local copy with the latest version of the file without asking me to resolve conflicts. I want to accept the target file and not merge with the latest version.

The impact of this is that I have lost my changes so I must revert the file to it's original and manually add back all my code changes.

From Perforce Support:

P4V 2018.3/1706936 included this new functionality:

#18050 (Change #1670254)
    Added a new Server Data preference, " Automatic Safe Resolve (no
    merging) when syncing files". This preference is turned on by default.
    As a result, when syncing files (Get Latest...), P4V now runs a safe
    resolve (no merging).

I'm going to answer the implied question of "how do I report a bug with P4V?"

Answer: To file a bug report with Perforce you should write to [email protected].
