I am unsure when exactly this problem started occurring, but I don't remember it being present in previous versions.

Testing with version 24.8, the drawing tools constantly reset their sub-tool selection state, so you cannot draw the same arrow type (or connector type) two times in a row without re-specifying the arrow (or connector) type each and every time.

Interestingly enough, this affects the buttons from the main toolbar (in notebookbar and groupedbar compact) but _not_ the drawing tools buttons that appear on the left of the window.

Please see the attached demonstration video, which makes the problem clearer.

I have seen this in Draw and Impress, so presumably it is just a toolbar "UI" bug that affects all apps.
