Using Keyboard shortcut to change tool causes tool to bounce back to previously used tool

Long time power used here.

In 24.7.0

on Mac OS 13.1

Mac Book Pro 16-inch 2021 M1 Max

When on a layer or layer mask and using a keyboard shortcut to select another tool the program switches to the tool but then immediately switches back to the previous tool selected. Each time I use the quick key to try and switch it continues to switch back over and over again.

I have to completely click out of the layer I am on or the layer mask I am in to clear the issue or manually click the other tool. Seems to only be an issue when using a key board shortcut for that tools. It doesnt matter what tool I'm in, it seems to happen on every tool. It happens the most when I'm on a mask and trying to paint on a mask.

Restarting the program or full computer restart does not fix the issue. This just popped up in my most recent upgrade to 24.7.0.

This is a feature, not a bug!

It's known as "spring-loaded shortcuts". It lets you quickly switch to a different tool, then resume what you were doing without missing a beat.

You're just holding the key too long. You can adjust the timing, or turn it off entirely, in Preferences.

Ah, thank you. Didn't realize this was turned on by default... very annoying.

Thanks.
