A completed quest in my journal is selected, as shown below:
This causes new quests to not be selected immediately.
How can I unselect it? Clicking on the quest title does not deselect it.

This glitch kinda occurs when you're on the quest when it's activated the entire time and then when it completes and you didn't activate another quest, it will still be marked as activated. Try to reload a previous save before you completed Brelyas's quest, activate another uncompleted quest, and complete the quest you said to have the bug on.
If you visit Riften for the first time, right there at the entrance, a guy on the left side will stop you and talk to you. You then show him your gem, ask what its worth, and by this conversation, the quest (take the gem to an appraiser) will be removed and a follow-up quest starts, in which you must join the Thieves Guild, so you get access to Vex, which is the "appraiser" you were looking for.
If you have visited Riften, and have been talked to by that guy at the city's entrance, then your quest did not just vanish, but "upgrade" itself to the next level. Check if you have the MISC quest "Join the Thieves Guild". If you have it, all is good. Join the guild and talk to Vex. If you do not have the Thieves Guild quest, my knowledge is at an end.
