P: Sub-tool reverts back to primary tool in slot every time a new document is open

Photoshop CC 2015.1 Release, Line tool (U) reverts back to Square tool everytime a new document is open. This used to remain on the previous selection (Line Tool). Very annoying with the latest release. Adobe please address.

Unfortunately this is not the case for me.  Deselecting "Show Start Workspace..." in Preferences>General did not help either.

My "Show Start Workspace" was already unchecked and the problem still persists

New Install of Photoshop 15.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.11.4 and the issue still persists. Any updates on a possible solution? Turning off Start Workspace did nothing to remedy.

Did you restart Photoshop after disabling the Start Screen?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Yes and tried a full Mac restart when that didn't work.

It is not solved. It's June 2016 and this glitch is making me crazy. 

[defaultrfcj9s8xxhdi]

This is such an annoying issue. I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet.

To follow-up, I confirm that the issue continues to occur on PS CC 20160113.r.355 x64

This issue should be fixed by the CC 2015.5 upgrade today: https://blogs.adobe.com/photoshop/2016/06/adobe-releases-major-photoshop-cc-update-today-and-announc...

My reaction when they've FINALLY FIXED IT (For now) @ 1:13 (think of "paddy" being the bug, the fortress being Adobe and "Thorgal" the patch fix )

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES!!!"

Still not fixed for me. See video.

Open photoshop, then press G. Switches to gradient tool.

[riotluck]

fixed, sorry

[defaultrfcj9s8xxhdi]

Not fixed for me either. So idiotic that we have to deal with this stupid bug for so long. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Not fixed. It's a shame....

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Seems to be working here 2015.5 release. I can't make it NOT work. Perhaps it's just some versions of an OS, or you need to reset your Prefs?

[riotluck]

Same issue on Windows 10

[defaultrfcj9s8xxhdi]

Verified still broken here

[J453]

Sorry. We thought the KBSC issue was fixed by the change to retaining the state of the toolbar between launches with the start screen (original issue on this and other threads). We have a bug logged for this variation with KBSC and sub-tools - and in progress for this thread: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-cc-2015-1-1-tool-shortcuts-resettin...

Fixed finally, yay a year later.
