How to default back to hand tool after an object is created

In the past, whenever I create an object such as a shape or a text box, etc. whenever I click away from the object the hand tool would automatically be active. Now, if I create a circle and click away, it creates another circle and will continue to do that unless I hit ESC several times or actively go back and click the hand tool. Is there a way to make this automatic again?
