Color Change Question

I have been printing some key chains on my MK3 using two colors and used PrusaControl to add the color change at the required layer. Has been working fine and the finished product looks great. The one issue I find is after I change the filament, it goes through the extruder and the control asks if the color is OK. I remove the purged filament blob from the nozzle/bed and select yes and the printer returns to printing. However right before it moves to go print it quickly extrudes about another 20mm or so of filament that gets dragged over to the print. I've learned to just sit there with a pair of tweezers and grab it quickly before it returns to printing. Is that a normal occurrence?
