PrusaSlicer 2.9.4 with XL - selecting default extruder for all parts of the print

Thought I'd share a revelation with the latest version of Prusaslicer: Sliced an object with extruder #3, and noticed that the slicer was using the default extruder (#1) for support. Never came up before! So looked at the print setting section, under multiple extruders, and the print components (support, infill, perimeter extruders) all had extruder #1 selected. Could not be changed to 0 - which would define the default selected extruder.
Results are in the attached build plate images. <----- sorry, cannot upload images.....!
Surely I'm not expected to reset all these to the selected object extruder every time I make a change??
Turns out what needs to be done, rather unintuitively, is to change the 'Support Material Raft/Skirt Extruder' to 0 - then the system defaults to the selected extruder for everything. Last picture, #2. <----- sorry, cannot upload images.....!
Just an FYI for others who may struggle with this
