I have suggested a workaround if you still want to use the V shortcut.

Simply use Edit > Toolbar to position the tools you need into the top position making it the default.
You can look at the Lasso tool example to understand the idea.

Then the V shortcut will be less of a problem.

Pete, there is an interesting bug you should have a look at concerning this and 10.12.4

I'll dub it the V bug. Tapping the Move shortcut v and then tapping another tool like the Lasso shortcut--L, causes the Polygonal Lasso tool to default to the regular Lasso Tool.

The same goes for the Wand--w and the Crop--c Tool.

It seems the V shortcut triggers this behavior in 2017.1.0

This bug cannot be duplicated in Photoshop CC 2015.5.2

Details here: OSX

And odd enough, even one for Windows 10

Yes, unfortunately, this is a bug that crept in at the very last minute. We are currently working on a fix. If you avoid the Move tool (V), then the problem shouldn't happen.

Thanks,
David

Same. The pencil tool keep reverting to the brush tool.

I just checked that is the case after move tool, but it didn't do that before the update.

Hi,

I'm seeing this only after the move tool is selected (which is rather common). I've logged a bug for this. Thanks for the report!
