I've always been taught click the spell you want to cast first, THEN tap the mana you want to pay for it. Seems to work well for me. Try it that way and see if the problem persists.

This is a case of the interface being a little obtuse. The prompt box in this case doesn't care if you hit the "Yes" option, since it doesn't do anything in this instance, the prompt box is wanting you to click the black mana symbol button that is highlighted.

Actually, neither the yes option nor clicking on the mana in the pool had any effect in this case.

Clicking the black mana you have floating in your pool isn't what it's wanting, it's wanting you to click the highlighted black mana symbol within the prompt.

Yeah, that IS a little obtuse. If you click the floating mana and it doesn't work, and you click Yes and it doesn't work, why would you think clicking the black mana symbol above Yes would work? Maybe out of frustration? Very un-intuitive.
