Problem with Events Manager: 'slct'

Question

I set up an Events Manager item to run a script whenever the event "Selection" ( 'slct' ) is activated. The script works beautifully and I'm having no problem with the script itself. I am, however, having problems with what happens after the script finishes. I have this problem even if I completely comment out the script or delete everything inside the script file and leave it blank. The purpose of the script is to automate things when I select specific layers. That works and the script has some checks to prevent anything from happening unless one of those specified layers is selected.
The problem is, when I select a tool using the keyboard shortcuts, it will revert back to the previous tool upon the next keypress. It basically acts as if I am using toggle mode for that tool by holding down the key for that tool.
I wiped out my preferences but that did not solve the problem. It makes no difference how my keyboard shortcuts are mapped...either default or user defined. So for an example, here is how some of my keys are mapped:
B-Paintbrush tool
S-Brush Size Increase
So if I'm using the Clone Stamp tool and want to switch to the Paintbrush tool, I will press the "B" key. The tool switches as it's supposed to. If I need to change the size or hardness of the brush, I press one of the corresponding keys...let's say "S" to increase size. When I press "S" nothing will happen until I release that key. Once I do release it, the tool switches back to the Clone Stamp tool. You can get this same effect yourself if you hold down the key of the tool you are switching to (use the toggle mode) and then try to change size/hardness using the keyboard shortcut for that function while still holding that tool's key down.
If I select the tool from the Tools Palette, I do not have this problem. If the tool is selected from within my script, I do not have this problem. The only time I have this problem is when using the keyboard shortcuts to select the tool.
Keep in mind that I have tried this with the script code completely bypassed/erased so no script code actually exedutes. When I turn of the Events Manager or remove the 'slct' item from Events Manager, I do not have this problem at all. If I hold the <SHIFT> key down while selecting the tool, I do not have this problem (this is the same as if you were to hold down the <SHIFT>+<tool key> and press the key to change size/hardness).
To me, it seems as though if there is a 'slct' event item in Events Manager and the keyboard is used to select a tool, Photoshop treats it as if that key is being held down (toggled) until another key is pressed (or even the same key).
If anyone knows how to get around this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem where a keystroke (like changing size "[ or "]") will revert to a previous tool rather than change size. Particularly annoying when you left your previously selected eraser slightly larger or smaller than your brush size and don't realize it till you've erased.
So far, from reading across quite a number of forums, it seems the event listener istelf causing the issue
At the moment I've just been thinking of "BB" as my shortcut instead of "B" so when it reverts it reverts back to the brush anyway.
I'll come back if I find a real solution to this annoyance ;P
