I am unable to find a way to disable the default tool and revert to the mouse pointer. It seems that I can only choose a tool from the tool box.
THIS IS VERY POOR SOFTWARE DESIGN!!! I want to use the mouse pointer most of the time when I'm loading up a photograph and want to simply view it. I certainly don't want to have to load the zoom tool or a pan tool. Those should be available when I'm using the mouse pointer or the mouse wheel.
HOW DO I TURN OFF PRESELECTING A TOOL WHEN PAINT.NET LOADS???
Over the years, I've seen a lot of good and bad ideas with Paint.Net, but this latest problem is enough to uninstall the app. As a systems architect with 30 years experience, I really can't fanthom who thought preselecting a tool and not being able to shut if off was a good idea. It completely changes the way Paint.Net behaves and I can't find a way to "opt out" of this.
