I actually understand what you're saying now, and I can confirm I have this exact same behavior. Using "Vertical Menu | Multiple Widgets", after playback finishes on an item I played from a widget, focus is returned to the corresponding main menu item, exactly as you've described.

I'm actually about to start an episode, so I went into the season view so I can confirm whether or not the described behavior is the same there.

EDIT: I can't say if this happened in original AZ, but it does happen to me in AZ2.

EDIT: I botched the experiment I'll try again later.

It's easy to recreate as you can stop playback manually. Like this :

This definitely doesn't happen for me and isn't normal behaviour at all (its normal for menu to be focused after leaving fullscreen playback but not for it to change which position is focused).

Do you have a mouse connected or mouse enabled in Kodi settings? Possible that the cursor is sitting in a weird spot. Other possibility is that you have a menu item in skin shortcuts that is hidden. Check that your skin shortcuts configuration matches your home menu entries and delete any that don't show on your home menu (sometimes Play DVD or Live TV shortcuts can mess with things if they are hidden).

Also, when scrolling homescreen widgets vertically, do the shortcuts in the upper-left stay as a header, or they more of a "category shortcut"?

I don't think anybody's asked this yet either... but are there hubs?

Yeah Blur is default if colorbox is installed. Background style can be switched to the Aura style Overlay in Skin Settings.

Originally the icon shortcuts were fixed throughout the skin. However, I'm not certain yet if the icon shortcuts are going to stay or not...

If I can get the scrolling working properly between widget pages then I will need headings in the top left instead to indicate which section you're in (i.e. press down from last movies widget will take you to the first widget of tvshows - or whatever your next main menu item is). I've got it working ondown but for some reason I can't get onup to work properly and I'm not really sure why. If I can get it working onup then the shortcut icons will have to go because being able to scroll through the widget pages is a far better feature.

Yes, of course there are hubs:

Would you mind giving an overview of what's different? I assume you're speaking "mechanically" with regards to how the skin itself actually handles them, but I'm curious what you would be doing differently.

Yeah just mechanics. In Aura all the widgets were saved as properties of main menu items, which meant it wasn't possible to change the positions. In AZ2 I introduced the new method which uses a second level submenu to manage the widgets. In AH I've further refined how the widget templates are built so that now each main menu item has its own grouplist "page" of widgets which allows for better handling of transitions between each section.

Any idea if that'll have any performance impact on things like widgets loading, etc..., one way or the other?
