Can't start w/ blank screen on Image Viewer

This is about “Image Viewer” (IV)
Now, when I open Image Viewer, I get the last image that was on it from last day I viewed images.

I don’t remember it doing this before. It seem to remember it opened to a blank screen.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to set Image Viewer to start with a blank screen?

TIA

I remember that being a new feature from couple of months ago, so it’s definitely new and was touted as a feature. I’m not sure how to get the old behavior back, though.

From the terminal, can you do

eog --version

and post the output here?
