Windshield washer spray stays on???

I just got my 91 Formula running (having never driven it until recently) and I went to use the windshield washer fluid. Unlike my other thirdgens, this one keeps the sprayer on for like 5-10 seconds. Is that normal? I was expecting to rotate the signal stalk and as soon as it returns to normal position, it shuts off.... But apprentice it's not doing that.

Any ideas?

Maybe it's a 91/92 feature, pretty sure my '88 doesn't do that, and I haven't tinkered with my 92 yet.
