Content Manager user interface: switching between category tabs somewhat clunky
This is a minor gripe but annoying enough. To reproduce: open CA4 and a new project. Let's say you want to access your Custom actors. So you go to Content Manager, where Template tab is selected by default. You pick Custom tab (on top) and then you click Actor tab on the left. You would expect it switch to Actor category for Custom, but it won't! It will switch right back to Template tab for some reason. So you will have to click on Custom again in order to get to Custom Actors.

The only way to get it right the first time is to first pick Actor Tab first and then Custom. Call me strange, but when I need to get to my Custom actors, I instinctively click on Custom first.

Before submitting this, I played with Content Manager tabs for a bit and after a few clicks it gets even more confusing. Sometimes it switches category and sometimes it doesn't. Bottom line: what I think would make it work properly is to set it up in such a way that whatever category (Template of Custom) is selected, it should remain selected regardless of which vertical tab (Actor, Project, etc.) is clicked on, until the user switches to the other category! And when they do switch to the other category, the same vertical tab should remain selected.
