[Affinity Designer] Shape tool icon doesn't update when changing shapes with shortcut

[Yuli]

If there's only one icon for the shapes tool in the tools panel, when you change shape tool with shortcut the icon doesn't update.

Steps to reproduce:
- Customize the tools panel leaving out all the shape tools that are not the "grouped shape tool" icon (I mean, leave only the general shape tool)
- Change to a different shape with keyboard shortcut to see how the tool changes, but the icon doesn't.

When activating the shortcut for changing the shape tool, the icon doesn't get updated, but the tool is active, you can see how the shape tool icon doesn't match the context label "Rectangle" (the expected behavior would be to see the square icon instead of the triangle).

 

I discovered this because I want to have just one icon for the shape tool (the grouped one), and I have the letter `c` shortcut to switch between square, circle and triangle. In Affinity Photo this bug doesn't happen, it works as expected! Changing the icon when switching between different shape tools with keyboard.

I think that in Photo the "general" Shape tool includes the Rectangle, and so it acts as you desire. But in Designer, that tool doesn't include the rectangle, by design, and so I would not expect that tool icon to change to the Rectangle.

I don't think it's a bug.

However, I've since found a couple of other topics about this, where the Serif team has attached a bug tag, AF-3897 so perhaps they do view it as a discrepancy that should be fixed.
