There's an old report for the sitting down before doing something here: [OPEN] Routing/Sit down issue on several interactions | EA Forums - 11234985 that probably influences most of what you are seeing. It's a very old issue and has never been solved.
There's also an individual one for infants here: Sim keeps putting infant down before putting them in crib et al. | EA Forums - 4982816
I'm not sure if the getting up between interactions is just how it works or if the other issue is just responsible for everything.
Musical chairs has always been a topic and many fixes have been done early on. Maybe this is as good as it gets.
Indeed, it sure does sound like the same issue! Just add “conversation” to the list of actions that trigger a musical chairs session, I guess.
Just now I was playing and doing a Meeting with Fashion Influencer event, and both the influencer and the model had a little game of musical chairs while they talked by the bar over drinks.
I avoid going to bars or even having bars and barstools for that reason. It's like you're sitting already just stay seated while you wait for your drink lol
