Well, I'm not surprised by this - as it is just the hierarchy -
features is topmost, writer is subpage, got to features again → you
get to a different page obviously.

When on the Writer page, the "Features" menu is in mode "section" -
i.e. you're within a subpage of Feature, and Writer is "current" -
i.e. it is the current page.
When on Features, "Features" is current, and Writer (and all the
others are of type "link".

Currently the theme doesn't make a distinction between current and
section, and honestly I hardly see this as a major issue, as it is
clearly a different level. If the Features link and Writer link would
be in the same row, then I'd fully agree, but people should be used to
hierarchical navigation, shouldn't they?

Well - would a different visual representation for "section" solve the
issue for you?

Just activating a "first subentry" automatically is a nogo IMHO, but
not sure whether you actually regard this as the desired solution.

I mean your input is always welcome, but in the end I always keep
asking myself: "Well, ok, current situation is not prefect, but what
does he actually want as replacement?" :-)
