Dialog box triggered by a contact

There's a rather large dark shaded dialog box that opens up when a contact is discovered in which the player is given a choice of 3 responses:

Engage Target
Maintain Current Orders
Dive to Periscope Depth

...along with a box to check for "Set as Default Action"

Clicking on any of the 3 choices makes the dialog box disappear w/out a chance to click on the default action checkbox.
Clicking the default action checkbox first allows the dialog box to remain open so the player can indicate which of the 3 actions is preferred for their default action.

However, clicking on the "Set as Default Action" checkbox and then choosing one of the 3 choices does not result in that choice being set as the default action; ie, the next time a contact is made, the box shows up again, and continues to show up contact after contact regardless of the player's indicated default action.

After the umpteenth time, it gets to be a bit of a pain; it's a lame addition to the game and I suspect a lot of players just want it to go away. Any suggestions?
