A quick tap on the accelerator usually prompts the gearbox to change down and all it then well.

There isn't a great deal you can do about it I'm afraid it's down to the poor software in the autobox ECU

As Russ says, poor software in the autobox and that's why running in sport mode cures it. I wish mine would be default in Sports Mode and then the switch was for economy instead of the other way round.
