    I have this problem as well, even after the updates. It's both extremely annoying and a pernicious time suck. The. Worst. "Feature". EVER!!!!!

    If you have brush presets which are tied to a specific tool, but want to apply them to a different tool, select the tool you want to apply them to then click on the preset while holding down the Cmd+Opt keys (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt keys (Win). This only works on the new 19.1 update.

    If you don't want the brush presets associated with specific tools, then uncheck the "Include Tool Settings" checkbox when creating them as previously mentioned.

    Hi Mathieu!

    I am happy to announce that this issue should be resolved in the release of Photoshop that just went live, 19.1. Please open your Creative Cloud desktop app, update Photoshop and give us feedback.

    Thank you,
    Hannah

    The brush preset is probably configured to "Include Tool Settings" (a new option in the New Brush dialog which allows you to capture all the settings int the Options Bar as part of the preset). Ensure "Show Additional Preset Info" is on in the flyout menu at the top right of the Brushes panel and you should see the icon of the associated tool shown along with the brush preset. If you want a tool-agnostic brush preset, then uncheck "Include Tool Settings" when creating the preset.

    Have you reset your Prefs? How are you switching tools? With the toolbar or shortcut?
