Adding objetcs

I just installed the 2.46rc1 and noticed a behaviour I have not seen previously.

Every time I add a mesh, say a plane, it is oriented parallel to the x-y plane regardless of my current view. That is as if I had the num-7 view.

Anyone care to explain how I can change this behaviour?

Cheers,
Knut

go to user preferences, edit methods, in the left lower corner: add new objects aligned to view, voilá!
