Advisor constantly suggesting an idiotic mission for my fleets

Annoyance factor: Very High

Yesterday, I've post a report on a similar problem (see https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=411338), but this is much worst (much more annoying)!
The advisor is constantly, incessantly, endlessly, suggesting that I send my fleets to “Prepare and Attack Gravillex (White Dwarf) at YU804”. Of course, this has happened before, many times in every game. But I don’t remember ever being as bad as this: I get a repeat of the suggestion almost immediately after having refuse the preceeding one!
In fact, when you’ll open the save, you’ll see the suggestion being shown twice, one for 2nd Fleet and one for 3rd Fleet! So it repeat the suggestion (for a different fleet) even before I’ve declined the previous one!!!
I imagine that this new level of bad behviour is related to the changes to fleets synchronization. But in this case, there’s no point to attempt a synchronized attack:
Dangerous Locations list the threat strength in that system at 17,107.
Here are the strength of my fleets:
The game knows, as shown in the “Dangerous Locations” screenshot above, that there aren’t any fleet with enough strength and/or adequate fuel / engagement range to do that mission (nor any combination of fleets). Yet, it keeps suggesting it, incessantly! And the location is in a gravitic storm nebula, for which my ships aren’t designed to deal with currently.
So: a useless, futile suggestion, repeated incessantly, ad nauseam.
Of course, I could change my policies so that the game doesn’t suggest missions anymore (and the advisor is so annoying that I might do just that). But I’d like to keep the policies as they are. I just want the advisor to stop annoying me with THAT suggestion!
To have to set a game (policies) in a way that you don’t want to, just to compensate for a program defect, isn’t ideal...
