Since updating my Intel Mac to Ventura, and VLC to 3.0.18, subtitles now default to enabled. I disable them in the Subtitles menu, but they are just enabled again the next time any file with a subtitle track is played. Is there any way to make VLC never show subtitles? Or which older version is best...

I have also been periodically having this issue over the last several months, except the file type seems to vary, is not just limited to .mkv.
