Photoshop Jumps back to Brush Tool when Switching Tabs

so in Photoshop, whenever I switch tabs to copy a text or browse a folder or check YouTube, basically anything when switching tabs, photoshop doesn't retain the last tool used. it just always goes back to the brush tool. say I am working on texts using the type tool whenever I copy from my browser or word file or notepad, and when I go back to Photoshop, it goes back to the brush tool. and it's annoying because I sometimes am in a hurry and think it's still in the type tool only to find out I am now drawing with a brush.

Testing on Windows with version 25.12.0 of Photoshop. Cannot reproduce the issue. Have you tried resetting the tool or, as a last resort, resetting the preferences?
