Cannot check out a new TRACKED branch in idea git vcs

Answered

I remeber that in previous version of IDEA, dev can just right-click a origin branch and check out local branch which is automatically tracked to its origin pair. However with the latest version 2019.3.1 of idea, when you try to check out a tracked a local branch from the origin one, there's only a checkout button and it will only checkout a branch with the same name as the origin pair. 

And if I click the 'New Branch from Selected', a untracked local branch will be checked out, so in order to perform a update, I'll have to use '--set-upstream' command to get things done.  

I'm not fully understanding the extra effort here, or if there is any setting that can help me go back to the old-fashioned way.

At the moment IntelliJ does not support this scenario well.
