Normally items like ingots, lumber or leather are tied to recipes of the same lvl tier, so going back and forth between fav/history and the lvl tiers is uncomfortable. I can imagine this may be comfortable to some people actively using favorites, but I also think it may cause confusion (crafting has been a lot more painful for me since this change, I have to be extra careful with what recipe i have in front of me). So my suggestions are:

1) On the fav/history make the cursor highlight always follow the last recipe crafted, not the last position on the list (basically move the cursor to the top along with the recipe).

2) Let us select if we want to swap to the fav/history or the origin of the recipe (11-15, dyes, housing...) when accessing them on the hotbars.
