WatchOS 6 workout app now always displays workout metrics on reactivation of display

When using my series 4 Apple Watch while working out, the new watchOS 6 update altered Apple’s workout app to where now when the display shuts off, no matter what was last on the screen, when the display activates again it returns to the metric screen of the workout app (as opposed to say the music screen within the workout app). I change my music/volume frequently while working out and as my hands get sweatier while working out it becomes increasingly difficult to swipe left to return to the music screen within the workout app. The previous watchOS would always return to the last used screen within the workout app so I could simply change songs with a lift of the wrist and tap. Is this a bug within the new watchOS or is there a way to have the music always appear when the display reactivates when working out?
