This is the expected behavior, the star is a quick-bookmarking action and the default action is to bookmark. We think that's the most common operation and thus default to it.
Clicking Cancel will cancel the operation, this is a less common action and thus is not the default.
Doing the opposite may cause unexpected data-loss, so we prefer to stay on the Save side.
