That's frustrating. It seems like the memorized setting of it has recently been reset on our instance, because all of a sudden all of our techs are getting stitched windows on machines we've had split, and we all operate only with split windows. Oh well, thanks for letting me know.

It would be helpful to know where this is configured, if it has been implemented.

I've got a similar situation, we use it as a CYA as well, but we have some institutions that flat out do not want anything recorded from their systems, it would be ideal to create a dynamic group that can exclude this feature. In addition it might be useful to allow a tech or admin to remove a recording already made or purge the recording as it is happening. For example you're doing a remote on a local business CEO computer and you stumble into a not so well hidden folder with explicit material, that might be one case where keeping a recording of that isn't the best idea.
