Mine Clearing Options selection/deselection

[Quark73]

I've made a scenario with three types of Mine Hunting/Sweeping boats, with various mine sweeping equipment. If I select these options some of them get automatically deselected, the deselected options are changing depending on the order they have been clicked.

Way to reproduce:
- select a boat
- press F9
- select Mine Clearing Options either from top to bottom or vice versa

1. M 1072 Lindau (Sweeper) - CWDB #844
- Generic Mechanical Cable Cutter Mine Sweep
- Generic Magnetic & Acoustic Mine Sweep
- Generic Moored Mine Cable Cutter
- Generic Mine Disposal Diver

if selected from top to bottom:
all options get selected - if the top option (cable cutter) is deselected all get deselected
if selected from bottom to top:
the three lower options get deselected if the top option (cable cutter) is selected

2. M 1072 Lindau (Hunter) - CWDB #845
- Generic Mechanical Cable Cutter Mine Sweep
- Generic Magnetic & Acoustic Mine Sweep
- Generic Mine Disposal Diver
if selected from top to bottom:
the middle one (Magnetic & Acoustic) gets deselected if bottom option (Mine Disposal Diver) gets selected
if selected from bottom to top:
the middle one (Magnetic & Acoustic) gets deselected if to option (cable cutter) gets selected
After selecting the middle option again, all three keep selected.

3. M Niobe - CWDB #847
- Generic Mechanical Cable Cutter Mine Sweep
- Generic Magnetic & Acoustic Mine Sweep
- Generic Moored Mine Cable Cutter
if selected from top to bottom:
all options get selected - if the top option (cable cutter) is deselected all get deselected
if selected from bottom to top:
the two lower options get deselected if the top option (cable cutter) is selected

While trying to make some pictures to illustrate the problem, I figured out that this is not a mine clearing issue but an issue of the entire Sensors window. Please find attached a video of the strange behavior. It randomly selects and deselects sensors.

EDIT: But it seems this behavior only occurs if Mine Clearing equipment is attached. I tried ships without Mine Clearing devices, the Sensors Dialogue there works as expected.

Questions:
Do some Mine Clearing options exclude each other?

How do Mine Divers work in CMO? They are not represented by a blue triangle at the stern and they get immediately de-selected when the Sensors windows is left/closed.

I've did some further testing with my notebook and my desktop PC, as well as with version 1483, 1487 and 1493. Everywhere the same results. To me it seems like a UI-Issue now. I attached a .save with two surface vessels Boat1 and Boat2. Boat2 is a copy of Boat1 and as you can see different mine clearing devices are affected even it's the same type of boat.

The Problem always happens if the headline of the "Active" has a blue background after selecting something, also the writing in the affected line is greyed out. I've also attached a video clip to show the mechanic of the failure.

This issue prevents test of a beta scenario for me.

It seems not every one is affected, so it may have something to do with my general setup, if you need more information just ask.

Since, it's still there I bump my soliloquy.
