P: Tool shortcuts resetting to default tool (E.g. L = selects freehand lasso instead of magnetic)

Photoshop CC 2015: I'm not sure how to explain this articulately, but bear with me:

I always have my (L) tool set to polygonal lasso, always my (C) tool set to slice selector. I press L or C, or whatever tool shortcut, and I get my last-used tool out of that variety (e.g. C = 1. Crop Tool, 2. Perspective crop tool, 3. Slice tool, 4. Slice select tool)

Since the last update, whenever I'm using a different tool and then press L/C on my keyboard, it will select the default (first in the line of) tool, instead of the one I was last using, so L selects the freehand lasso, or C selects the crop tool, meaning I have to manually select/shift+L to get back around to the tool I wanted.

Has the latest update removed the 'last-used' functionality? Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks.

I can't say definitively, but not very likely.  I didn't comment earlier because I'm unfamiliar with the bug you're talking about.  Have you posted the bug (including the steps and your system details) in a thread?  This would NOT be the right place for it...

Thanks,
David

There are actually four different bugs that crept in here, all of which should be fixed soon.  So, whether it's your default tool, your last used tool, or if you quit the app and come back, the behavior will be consistent.
OK, I guess I'll ask you again, are any of these also responsible for Direct Select Tool NOT remembering Constrain Path Dragging?

Wow, kudos on moustache sculpting though. As Mr. Johnny Lee once said, "I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places..."

It is appreciated that you give such frank feedback.

Is this also responsible for Direct Select Tool NOT remembering 'Constrain Path Dragging', or is that yet another of the myriad examples of Abobe "CC" era of excellence?

Seriously guys, come on with this kind of sh*t already, your driving everyone mad.

You should be seeing the same thing as Walt in 2015.5.
