Automatic Tab Switching Bug

Does this happen to anyone else?  The Ribbon Tabs automatically switch.  I tend to spend most of my time in the 'Edit' Tab, but ArcGIS Pro will switch me back to 'Home' or 'Insert'.  Pro usually switches back to 'Home' when first starting the application, and switch to 'Insert' if I am adding and removing features, especially imagery.  The switching tends to happen unexpectedly, which makes capturing the phenomenon somewhat difficult.

You can see the tabs switch at the 00:51 seconds mark.

This video is just one example of one scenario where this happens to me.  I generally experience this bug at least once per instance of opening Pro, which I do several times per day.

I think it's supposed to be a 'feature,' but I also find it annoying. Simple tasks take twice as many clicks in Pro compared to ArcMap, largely because of the ribbon UI. It feels unfinished in many ways.

That's what I thought too, but I talked to the Pro technical support team at the user conference and they said it's not supposed to do that.  That's why I have a case number.

It's not!?!? I've been in Esri presentations where they talk about the "contextual" (read: random) switching as if it's innovative, helpful...

All I can say is what the two individuals I described this to had never heard of this behavior.

I caught ArcGIS Pro forgetting that I had 'Edit' selected after bringing in a feature class from the Catalog.  This happened after performing a guided clean install with ESRI Customer Care.

I select 'Edit' at 00:29 seconds, then add in a layer.  When I go back to the map, the tab reverts back to 'Map' when it should have stayed on 'Edit'.

After removing custom Ribbon buttons, the issue persists.
