Problem when switching between healing tools in LRC

I have noticed that if I use one of the three healing tools (say Clone) and then want to use another healing tool (say Heal), I need to click on the Bandage above these three icons (the bandage between the Crop Overlay and Red Eye Correction icons) in order to "set" the just completed action, then click on that bandage again to start a new heal tool action, click on the next tool (say Heal) and then do what I want to do with that tool. If I just Clone and then click on Heal it actually converts the previous Clone brush stroke to a Heal brush stroke.

This seems like a very clunky way of changing tools and I am thinking there is very likely a (much) simpler way of doing this that I haven't been able to find. I am running LRC 12.5 but this problem wasn't present with 12.2 as well.  A fellow photographer was trying to help me.  Here is what he said in part:

"Mine does not work the way you describe. If I select a tool and use it, that correction is set as soon as I release the mouse click. If I then click one of the other tools, it moves to the other tool. There is sometimes a slight delay before the operation completes, so maybe for some reason you are experiencing a long delay.  
I think they way mine works is the way you want it to work. I have no idea why yours is working differently than mine. I am running the latest version of LR Classic on the latest version of Win 10."

Is there a preference or some other setting I need to change?  Or perhaps something I need to do differently when using the Healing tools?

Thanks
