Keep object selected with switching from Shaper Tool to Smooth Tool.
It feels redundant to re-select object (line, shape, etc) when switching to or selecting the smooth tool. This is especially disruptive because you can't select the item when using the smooth tool. It doesn't seem to be consistent for other experiences in the program.

Not sure if I get it.
Are you sure you mean Shaper tool, not Shape Builder tool?
Because Shaper tool does not make a selection of the drawn shapes. Shaper Builder though — does.
How do you switch to the Smooth tool after using the other one?
By default Smooth tool is placed in the same tool slot as the Shaper (not Shape Builder), and once you click-and-hold the tool slot to access hidden Smooth tool — indeed, the selection gets dropped.
Can someone here record a short video of the issue?

For me it's about the Smooth tool:
Let say you have an object selected and you want to select the Smooth tool. You have to click and hold the tool slot to acced the hidden Smooth tool. But at the moment you select the Smooth tool, the selected object will get deselected! That's annoying, because then you first have to select it again and select the Smooth tool again before you can use it.

Is it the same problem as shown here, for example?

Yes agreed, this is massively irritating - and it only seems to be behaving this way with the newest release. Previously you could select the Smooth tool and your object would still be selected. Please fix this Adobe!
