Highlighter Tool turns itself off after first use

[RobinDZ60]

My Highlighter Tool is now turning off after the first time use.  After I updated yesterday, the issue started happening.  I highlight numbers sporadically in columns alot and to keep hitting the highlight tool each time is annoying.  How the hell do I keep it on, until I'm ready to turn it off?

Hi RobinDZ60,

Could you please try following troubleshooting steps:

Select highlighter tool > press Ctrl + E > check the box next to "Keep tool selected", does that work?

It worked!  As someone in accounting and uses this tool a lot, I'm very grateful to you Shivam.  The auto off drove me crazy yesterday.

Thank you.
