My tools keep moving in my toolbar!

Just updated to the newest version of Illustrator, and while I love the fully customizable toolbar, my tools keep moving around! I can't get them to stay in the same place on my toolbar, and it makes finding them tricky and is causing me to lose time searching for them. I will place the direct selection arrow right at the top of my toolbar, and the next time I look for it, it is somewhere near the middle. A few times it has even grouped itself with a different set of tools entirely, and is buried in a menu. Of course keyboard shortcuts are a good fix, but I would really just like my tools to stay where I put them... anyone have any suggestions?

Unbelievably bad design on this new feature. I hope there's a way to disable it... there seems to be no way to make tools not drag with common use of a Wacom pen.

Hi bigbignews,

I just followed the link to User Voice that I post earlier in this thread. There are 135 votes as of today, plus the announcement from Adobe that the fix will be in the next update.
