This may not apply to just this issue, but when I clicked the 'Dismiss All Issues' option it automatically selected one of the options. I'm not sure what option the game picked because of the bug, but my Scientific Advancement Analysis went down by roughly 30 and Authoritarianism went up by 0.097 (It was at 1 before). I'm not sure if these are the only changes, but in an RP region where SA is a major contributor, I died inside a little.

Looking at your national happenings, it says

Following new legislation in Alkarzia, the country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content.

So I'm guessing the option selected was the one to ban the internet, which makes sense given the effects you experienced.

Are you using NS++? It remembers prior choices on issues.
The NS game itself has no mechanism to auto-select options.

I am using NS++, but I've always dismissed the issue.
