Bug Description

If you activate the zone cutout tool (GAL mode) with the hotkey, but without a zone selected, you can get into a strange state:

1) Draw a zone
2) Escape to normal mode
3) Have nothing selected
4) Press the cutout HK (C)
5) The pencil appears
6) You can't draw a zone
7) You can't escape with Esc
8) Escape by selecting another tool and then normal mode
