Thanks for the heads up. The first suggestion is a bit clumsy, to hit select, then circle to deselct, then move soft target, but it comes closer to achieving what I'm looking to do, only in a different way; it lets you leave the menu open while cycling characters. It's even more of a process than closing the window though, unfortunately, with much more room for clumsiness/error.

What did actually help me though, is the L2+R2 method, which I was not aware of. It's still not ideal, but it's far better than what I've been doing. It's definitely made things much faster. It would be nice if there were some way to let one use the d-pad to select, but this works too. Thanks.
