Is this a bug with the PS4 cross hot bar or is this normal?

[416to305]

I have a weird issue I've never seen before and just am wondering if it's normal or something else. The way my system is set up is I have 2 hot bars that I can cycle with R1 between, there's 1 and 6. Not sure why I skipped the others but that's how it's always been for me. Hotbar 2 is the one that shows with the expanded hold controls, so holding L2 and R2 together.

Hotbar 6 I rarely use, it just has things like journal on it, limit break, sprint, chocobo etc. So if I'm on hotbar 1 the main one and I press R1 it goes to hotbar 6 as expected. If I use sprint, or any action there like chocobo, it triggers as expected and stays there. I then have to press R1 again to go back to hotbar 1.

I put Diurnal Sect and Nocturnal Sect from AST on hotbar 6 instead, as I am trying to work out the best layout since AST uses more commands than WHM. When I press R1 and switch to hotbar 6 and turn on Diurnal or Nocturnal, it does, but then instantly flips back to hotbar 1. If I press R1 to go back to 6, and then turn off the sect, it stays there. If I turn it on again, or the other one, it turns on and instantly flips back to 1.

This is sort of ideal, but it's tripping me up in dungeons because sometimes I press R1, hit the sect and then without looking press R1 again thinking I'm flipping back to hotbar 1 (the way I would if I was popping sprint during a battle), when meanwhile it already went back on me and now I'm triggering other things. I don't see any mention of this anywhere, is this normal and how do you know what actions will flip it back vs others? And how does it know where to flip it back to?
