Clicking R (Rotate Tool) and stuck in anchor point. (Using Wacom)

Question

So I'm using a Wacom tablet. And I've been doing AI and XD. The shortcut for a rectangle in XD is "R" and for AI is "M". And sometime I'll get it mixed up once in a while. But the problem is, when I click "R" in AI. It goes into rotate tool and I'll get stuck with the anchor point (I'm using a Wacom tablet btw). Any button I click or any other hotkey I click or even esc, doesn't work.

So my work around is that I changed the "R" hotkey in AI as a smooth tool since I used it a lot. If anyone had the same problem and could clue me up on what happened? And do you guys have a fixed for this kind of problem?

Thanks.

So you can't select any other tool anymore, once you have the rotate tool active?

I suppose you rebbot the computer regularly? If not, maybe do it now?

Also you could try and reset the preferences. This will erase your settings. but there is a method that can be made undone: rename the preferences folder: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html
