Hi,

We need to coin a name for this, I hereby declare it the CWB-tool ;)

Most single clicks are as you say easily reversed, but CWB is in my
opinion one of those.

Someone should implement undo ;)

A three-step solution?

Do we expect a user to enable CWB and then disable it when done?
Wouldn't a user just enable it at first sight, and never touch the
button again? - Which brings us back to the current behavior. The only
feature you would gain by disabling it, would be to avoid the occasional
accidental click - which is a useless feature compared to CWB.

I don't know how big a change this would be. Currently CWB is the
"resting"-tool when no other tool is selected. It should be possible to
make CWB a normal tool like crop and straighten.
