Approval Workflow does not start automatically

$

I have created a document library in Sharepoint Online. Using the Library Settings - Workflow Settings, I have added a workflow. The type of this workflow is "Approval - Sharepoint 2010". I have checked the Start Option for "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item."

However, when a contributor checks in a major version of an item, the approval workflow does not start automatically. Instead, the approval options form (the second form that comes up with creating this approval workflow in the first place) comes up and gives the user the option to change the settings and forces them to press "Start" to start the workflow; they also have the option to cancel. I don't like the fact that the user has to push "Start" to start the approval workflow, but I can live with it, since if they want the document to be approved, they'll have to hit it, but the user also has the ability to change the settings, and so could change the approver to himself/herself and get a "bad" document approved and published. This is not OK.

Is there a way to make the workflow start automatically? or at least not give a contributor the ability to change the approval settings?
