[CMake] Why change option in Cmake -GUI does not require re-configuration?

I downloaded CMake 2.8.12 and faced the following behavior with Cmake -GUI
which can be reproduced  if:

After initial configuration click configurations until all options are not
marked as red.
Then change one the options.

Now you are able to click Generate and skip Configure.

This leads to the wrong project file generated , if last changed option was
incompatible with previously set options.

This does not happen with ccmake., which enforces configuration after any
change.

It looks like as a bug to me.

Regards,
