Mathcad Prime 3.0 deletes selection instead of appending

I am evaluating Mathcad Prime 3.0 to upgrade our Mathcad 15, and I am noticing a difference in the math inputs.

 

I tried to define the math below and after entering number 6, I press the spacebar TWO times to get the entire line underlined with the blue line. Once all the numbers are underlined, I can just press "Shift" + "F" and the letter F gets appended to the end.

This behavior is different in Mathcad Prime 3.0. After entering the number 6, I press the space bar THREE times to get the entire item selected. However, when pressing "Shift" + "F" to insert the unit Farad (F), the entire item is DELETED instead. The old behavior was more intuitive because I have learned from Mathcad that any item under the blue line gets concatentated to the next operation. In fact, I must prefer the blue line more than the gray highlight. The blue line is easier to see.

The only way to insert the "F" is to press the right arrow on the keyboard to the right so that F can be inserted. Again, the old method was much more efficient: TWO instead of FOUR keystrokes to get the desired results. Is there anything that I can do to get the old behavior?
