Took me a few days to figure out what was happening but a few others in my FC & linkshells have seen the same problem.

When I login, my active chat channel is usually set to 'LS #1' because it's what I use most often. I also have my FC and four other linkshells. So my channel list shows up as:

Say
Shout
FC
LS #1
LS #2
LS #3
LS #4
LS #5

Here's what happens - I'll type something in LS #2 (/l2) once. The game then automatically changes that to the active chat channel, but still displays LS #1 as the active channel on the chat window bar. And it doesn't change back when I type /l1.

If I use say or shout, or something higher on the list than /l2, it doesn't jump back up. But if I then use /l5, that becomes the active channel. Since /l5 is the bottom of the list, it stays there even when I use /l1, /l2 etc.

The open channel will not jump back up to where it should be unless I open the Linkshell Member List window and manually change it back. And then the problem starts over again.
