Illustrator 2020 (24.0.3) stuck on Hand Tool (running macOS 10.14)
Illustrator stuck on Hand Tool. I can click on any of the other tools (ex. Type Tool) but the cursor never changes and functionality remains stuck to Hand Tool... I CAN'T EDIT OR CREATE ANYTHING!

The hand tool will randomly appear (sometimes with shortcut, sometimes not) and then refuses to go away no matter how many times I hit spacebar or escape. I have to quit and relaunch illustrator to fix.

I have this same issue — NOTHING is working for me.

That happens to me too. Same OS and Illustrator version.
The "workaround" is to click off in any browser and then click back in Illy and it should go back to the selection tool. I haven't had a chance to try that out yet. One of my coworkers told me that, but I wonder if it's just click outside Illustrator and doesn't have to be a browser window.
Anyway, I feel your pain. Hopefully they will get it worked out.
