    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?

    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!
