As soon as you create a layer in the layer palette in modes other than “normal” (e.g. multiply, copy one into the other, etc.), the shortcuts for selecting tools or changing the brush size, for example, temporarily no longer work.
Only when you select a new tool manually (e.g. V-move) do the shortcuts work again.
However, if you create a layer in normal mode in the layer palette, the short cuts remain active, as expected.

- Steps to reproduce the error:
- Create a new layer in the layer palette in a mode other than “normal” (e.g. multiply, copy one into the other, etc.)
- Type shortcut: e.g. “B for Brush”, “V for Move”, “I” or other tools
Only when you select the V (move) tool again with the mouse or pen do the shortcuts work again.
