icons stay in dock after app quit

I just upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and noticed that now, once I am finished using an app and quit it, its icon stays in the Dock and has to be moved to the trash manually in order to remove it from the Dock. This never happened in any of the previous versions of macOS or MacOS X that I used...is this supposed to be a new "feature," or is it just a bug?


Has anyone else noticed this?


Thanks.

iMac, macOS Mojave (10.14), 8 GB
