When giving the order to protect position, you have to define a location by clicking the blue strip opposite "Area to protect", then clicking the map.
If you click on the map over existing route planning for another ship the focus switches to that ship and the order giving process is prevented.
Expected behaviour would be the only information the cursor should be able to pick at that juncture is map location, it should ignore all other phenomena until the location is chosen and confirmed or the order giving process is aborted via esc.
