Command Window prompt stays in view during Run Section

I find, in R2024b (I haven't checked other versions), then when running sub-sections of code, for example with , the command line prompt stays visible while the computation is in progress. This is not the case when running normally, and I am wondering if it is a deliberate design choice. If so, I wonder if there is some preference setting that will deactivate this, as I find it makes it a bit more difficult to see when Matlab is busy (in spite of the 'Busy' notification in the lower left of the Matlab desktop).

A simple way to get rid of it, I find, is to just execute any command at the prompt even a trivial one like a single number. For instance, when I run the first section of this code -

the command prompt stays at the bottom of the screen, but then goes away when I enter the number of zero -

As for whether it is a deliberate design choice, I doubt it. If it were, it wouldn't be so trivial to get rid of.
