Brush highlight easily lost

[AmandaW]

I'm using Photo version 1.9 on a Windows 10 with a Cintiq 24HD.

When I flip the pen to erase and then return to the Brush tool the selection in the Brushes list is no longer highlighted. The same thing happens when using other tools eg Pan, when I return to the Brush tool it draws with what I was using last, but there's no indication in the Brushes list to know what it is. 

Is there a way find out which brush is selected? I expected it would always highlight what was in use.

Same issue here since forever - I can' t see which brush I have selected, so if I want to edit my brush I don't know which brush to click, so I immediately get lost by clicking a random brush from the list and now I don't know what brush I am looking for :[

Video attached...

The problem is that as soon as you edit the brush, it is no longer the same brush as the one you started with, so it is no longer highlighted. There have been many, many complaints about how this works. For example see this recent topic.

I'm not even editing the brush, just switching to the eraser. When I come back to the brush it's lost the highlight to tell me what I'm using. It knows because it's still using it, but isn't sharing that info.

And don't tell me I'm supposed to remember - I'm nearly 60 and, well, age... - and remembering things is the computer's job!

True, There are a lot of problems with the implementation.
