How can I stop the tool from switching when I switch between my drawing pad and mouse
#1
Question 
Updated to Gimp 4.0 as I switched OS from Windows 10 to 11, and I noticed that now, my mouse and my drawing pad have two separate tools linked to them, which is awkward for me as I use my mouse a lot for panning, zooming, etc. Trying to edit the tool used by my drawing pad is also awkward, as I can't do it with my mouse as it switches to the tool my mouse is using. Switching tools is also inconvenient as I normally do it after adjusting my view, but because I do that with my mouse it switches the tool on my mouse, and then when I go back to using my drawing pad, it's the tool I wanted to switch off of. How can I turn this off?

Showing the switching behavior I'm talking about would obviously be best with a video but I'm currently unable to do that, so here's an image of the two tools that are being switched between.
