X14 Library placement stickiness

I am just starting to work in X14. I am noticing an odd behavior. If I have placed an object from the Library into a plan file, when I switch to my layout file (by clicking into a new window) the last Library item I placed is now active again and wanting a new home in the layout file. After placing the library item other work has happened so the tool is not active in the plan view.

 

Is this a know bug?

I've noted a similar situation.  The selection of a Library Item acts like it's in "sticky mode" and you just need to terminate that tool.  I don't know why it doesn't terminate automatically when switching from Plan to Layout - or Layout to Plan.  

 

Esc or Spacebar works for me to terminate the tool.

To get rid of the “stickiness”, I’ve developed the habit of clicking on a folder in the library or the top of the folder window in order to cancel out of that item. 
 

It’s annoying since even pressing escape or the space bar doesn’t get rid of the item trying to place.
