Audio Waveforms

I rely quite heavily on the audio waveforms while editing. Both in Aroll and music for adjustments and cut timing. In the past few months, there has been a change so that when the audio levels are lowered on a track, the wavelengths now shrink to match it. Is there any way we can add a setting to turn this off? For example, when I lower a music track to -20db, the waveforms are so small I can hardly tell where the high or low points are. This makes it challenging, to say the least. Even with the audio track expanded, it's challenging and makes timeline space an issue. 

Any chance we can go back to the way it was? Or is there a way to change this?
