It makes it especially annoying when you're trying to keep vassals from fighting one another but end up with multiple de jure areas that essentially become the wild west of vassal relations.

I had that problem when i played as the Rus and created the Lithuanian kingdom. Not only did I have every character with the lithuanian culture plotting for it, but when i moved up to Medium in the Rus, Lithuania stayed at low.

In my opinion it's better to keep one de jure King title and let your de jure drift take care of the rest.
Yes, I had trouble with that, too.

The most came from a scramble when England had Agnatic succession but my four kingdoms in Spain all had Agnatic-Cognatic, and I had a king with daughters but no sons. Later the problem was solved by getting myself a new queen anyway, but I still appeased like crazy to get my vassals to accept Agnatic-Cognatic everywhere.

Another time there was a plot to lower CA in Lithuania (yep, I had that too) that went unnoticed by my spymaster until the guy brought it to me in a letter with like five of my most powerful vassals. There was no way I could fight it at the moment (was fighting a war with France) so I just decided to accept it because hey, it's only four provinces in Lithuania.

All of a sudden, game glitch. Instead of Lithuania, CA was lowered down to autonomous vassals in England. That one took a while to recover from.
