Erase Brush to Zoom (hold Z) doesn't permanently return to Erase with drawing display + stylus - AP2

[Art51]

How to replicate this minor bug:

• Create a new document in Affinity Photo 2.
• Select the Erase Brush Tool
• Temporarily Zoom the canvas by holding down the Z key (using the stylus to scrub in or out with the Zoom Tool)
• When Z is released the tool returns to the Erase Brush Tool as expected, however...
• If the stylus is now raised away from the drawing display (out of active range) then returned to active range the tool switches to the Zoom Tool. It should remain on the Erase Brush Tool.

It doesn't matter if the Erase Tool is used or not before moving the stylus out of active range, when the stylus is lifted then returned the tool switches to the Zoom Tool.

This behaviour seemingly only affects the Erase Brush Tool.

Hope this makes sense!

@Art51 Thank you for the report, I've logged this with the developers as I was able to replicate the issue using one of our drawing tablets.
