A cursory search did not turn up the answer to my question so my apologies if it's been addressed already.

When I have internal links (such as to end notes) I prefer to use the full / absolute filepath (using Sigil's normal file structure), for example:
href="../Text/notes.xhtml#footnote-1"

In the very latest version(s? not sure when it started) of Sigil, these mysteriously get converted into relative filepaths:
href="notes.xhtml#footnote-1"

I cannot for the life of me figure out what triggers it as it doesn't appear to be on save and I don't see anywhere to set a preference for that but I am 99.99999% sure this didn't used to happen previously.

Why / when does this happen, and is there a way to stop it?

I'm using version 1.2 on windows 10.
