Hi Ajenbo! Thanks for your bug report. The bug you describe has been fixed in the branch I have linked and should be available in the next release. Ideally we would not allow that dialog to be closed, but we are in user interface freeze atm. Please continue to report any bugs you may find in software-center. Thanks again for your help!

Removing the close button might be some thing you would be able to get threw even though the freeze has ocured. But if the issue has been fixed i guess it's better to let it stay as is.
