Say I select "Journal --> Quests" in my menu to view the details of a Crafting Writ, then cancel out and craft my stuff. The next time I open my menu, the selection the game chooses appears to be arbitrary, or often it will be 1 or 2 spots up or down the menu from my prior selection (e.g., previously I did Menu --> Journal, the next time I open it will be Menu --> Social).
This is bad UX. The menu should either always revert to a consistent state (e.g., put me back at the top of the menu) or it should always return the user to the prior selection (e.g., if I chose Menu --> Journal previously, the next Menu open should place the cursor on Menu --> Journal).
