Feedback needed for Red Victory

[Dog Soldier]

Is this by design?
Why do leaders in a stack with a radio team, lose MP just because I want to check the artillery dialog box for the status of my support? I exit the artillery dialog without invoking an action, yet my leaders lose MP.
I do not understand the rational for penalizing a status check on a dialog box. Especially when you have four or more lines of support to keep track of every turn in the artillery dialog box.
