I too find this very annoying, we should definitely look into fixing that.

You're not the first to ask. We'll make it configurable.

Roberto has already started implementing the base for such a feature. :-)

Probably would be good to have a separate kind of run configuration for 
tests which does this.

And as we already mentioned, this issue has been addressed. :-)

Would a custom run configuration help you? Or if you want to make it 
part of a build configuration, a custom build step? Both options are 
already available:

* Build&Run -> Run Settings -> Custom Executable (under + button)
* Build&Run -> Build Settings -> Build Steps -> Custom Process Step 
(also under + button)
