Issue with diplomacy

[Grautvornix]

When asking a player for neutrality and he refuses, my own setting automatically returns to "enemy". But when I am being attacked by that player later in game, my troops consider him as being neutral (while my indication in diplomacy menu still shows "enemy").

When the other player accepted neutrality, my own setting still automatically returns to "enemy".

Have I overlooked some setting or change in game play mechanics?

Thanks for any advice!

Edit: Apologies as this is a duplicate to this...
