N.B. I am using JCE Editor, not TinyMCE, so this may be a JCE bug:
When clicking on the link, the article should open as a child of the Category Blog.
[Note: If you have both menu items in a single menu, then that is what happens.]
The link opens as a child of the Category List item in the secondary menu.
It happens whichever way around the items are created.
Joomla 4.0.4
I had created a menu with the Category List item for front editors only, which is not visible to unregistered visitors, so having links attempt to go to this location results in a 'you must log in first' request.

Actually, it seems to be the other way around:
The blog is on the main menu which has menu Id 1 and the list is in another menu of id 2.
The item id for the blog is 126 and the list is 127, so it seems to be using the higher id.
It doesn't do this in J3. It links to the category blog.
Could this be a feature request? To select the appropriate menu item when selecting content if two items have the same category?
I have no idea how it could be achieved
So how come it selects the blog item rather than the list item in J3?
Different router in j4
It appears to be alphabetical, so one way around this is to add an 'x' to the beginning of the unique name for the menu that you don't want used. For example, I had 'editor-menu' - visible to registered, logged-in users only, and 'mainmenu'. When I added a public link to a category item that had a category list under 'editor-menu' and a category blog under the mainmenu, it chose the editor-menu Id, resulting in a URL along the lines of /editor-menu/my-category/category-item. When I changed the unique name for the menu to 'xeditor-menu', it chose the mainmenu Id with a URL of /my-category/category-item as expected.
I think I may be experiencing the same issue as the Original Poster, but in two languages.
I have a menu item, Components, that has a description of the Components Category and links to articles in that Category. My site is in two languages (English and French) and there is a corresponding menu item on the French menu Composants.
On my site, when I first select Components from the English menu, the menu item displays as shown in Components-01. When I select the Quebec flag, the item displays as shown in Components-02. When I select the Canadian flag, I would expect to see the display as in Components-01. Instead I see the display as in Components-03. This is absolutely not the desired behaviour.
It is possible that I have done something wrong, but I don't think so. The Associations are correct, as shown by moving from 01 to 02.
Any help would be much appreciated!
For me this is the expected behaviour and should be closed.
@brianteeman - I'm not sure that this is the desired behaviour. If I have a menu item with a Category blog, then it would be best to go there. Just a thought and I can be talked out of it, but not easily.

This sort of thing will always happen when you have two different links pointing to the same content. iirc the one with the lowest id will be used
