Subject: M3 Question

I recently bought an M3 with a 50mm F2 (rigid) Summicron. All works very
well and I'm very pleased with the results. However it has one annoying 
feature that I don't like and I don't have a cure. When the lens focus is
set to infinity, the focus lock engages requiring the user to push the
button to release the lock in order to focus to a distance other than
infinity. It  seems logical that this feature could be toggled on or off,
but I can't see how. 

Is this something one lives with or am I missing something? I hope it's the
latter.  Any suggestions? Thanks.
