Reproduction steps
- Start new Arrangement
- Select any tool from the pallet (e.g. "Segment tool")

- In the "phrase editor" the same tool is selected in the pallet, but the mouse shows the "Span tool" and behaves like the "Span tool"
- You need to select the selected tool again

Synfire remembers the tool selection for each window and parameter individually. If you switch to a different parameter, or open another editor, it will recall the tool last used there.
If tool selection was global, switching back and forth between tools on each focus change would be very cumbersome.

Not what I experience. The correct tool button is selected (from last time the window was open), however the mouse curser shows span tool and behaves like that. So, there is a discrepamy between the selected mode and what the mouse shows.
Unfortunately all attempts to create a screen shot failed, as the cursor was never captured.

Yes, exactly. There is a discrepency between selected mode and what mode is actually active.
