Hey everyone. Really enjoying all the recent changes to GIMP in production work.
One thing that's giving me click-anxiety is a slight bug:

The default hotkey for increasing brush size is ctrl+alt+mousewheel, but using the eraser tool, once you erase something (click on the canvas) the hotkey seems to lose track of the tool it's on, and ever after holding ctrl+alt brings the eyedropper tool into focus instead of being able to use the mousewheel to change brush size.

Steps to replicate: 1.Open image
2.Switch to Eraser tool
3.Hold ctrl+alt and use mousewheel to change brush size (works fine) 4.Erase something on canvas
5.Hold ctrl+alt again to resize brush

Result, eyedropper tool appears for as long as ctrl+alt is held, and no brush resizing is possible.

A temp fix is to click on the eraser tool again. This allows the correct behavior (until you erase something on canvas once more, of course.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Ooops, forgot to include system information: Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit), gnome shell wm, gimp-edge ppa (2.9.3)
