Blueprint books auto-close after editing a blueprint. Lets say you are going through the blueprints in your blueprint book and changing their names or icons. You open the book, right click a blueprint, change what you want and accept the change. As soon as you do this, the blueprint book is also closed.

The book should stay open to let you edit other blueprints if you want or press esc to close it manually. Right now it's really convoluted to edit your blueprints. You have to do the following for each blueprint:
1) open book
2) scroll down to find your blueprint (scroll position isn't remembered)
3) right-click blueprint and edit
4) repeat from above

This is currently how our GUI system works: it doesn't support the concept of "I had X open but opened Y and when I close Y re-open X".

That may change in the future but for now this isn't a bug but working as intended.

That fine, but from a usability standpoint it should be improved. You can move it to ideas and suggestions if you feel it makes more sense there.
