Should WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) switch off the AP?

[Protoneer]

I am trying to switch between STA mode and AP mode. To go to client mode I use the following code:

  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin("XXXXXXX","XXXXXXX");

The WiFi.begin does the client connection but a few seconds later the AP also appears and it seems to run in mixed mode.

Is this normal?

yes WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); goes to STA mode only.
what version do you use. this behavior is changed 27 days ago.
see 6233977 and #529
WiFi.softAPdisconnect(true); shut work too, the difference to WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); is its delete the AP config complete form the espressif config memory.

@Links2004 from what I can see I am using the staging version for Aug 3. (I changed my Arduino setting to point to the staging version and removed the stable version before doing so)

Should I call softAPdisconnect first?

@Links2004 you were spot on. I could not compile softAPdisconnect indicating that the move of repository did not work. Reinstalled and it is now work. THANKS!!!
