Brush tool in Local Adjustments not turning into Eraser

Anyone else getting this?

only way to get the Brush to turn into the Eraser is to press the E key instead of just holding down Alt - have sent in a support request.

  I asked about this over at the Mac board. It seems that it's by design that it doesn't do that any more, with the Alt key now doing something else. I have had to start getting used to using E or B instead, but actually I think that is not too bad, and I should always have done it that way - you don't have to keep holding down the Alt key!

  Oh really? thanks Ian.. well that sucks, I have a button on my Wacom stylus set to ALT - will have to map some buttons on my tablet instead then ☹️

  I didn't know about the ALT shortcut; I used 'e' and 'b'
  So, I never knew I could use ALT as a toggle on the tablet :^)
  
  At least one other shortcut has changed as well.
  I liked the shortcut of using mouse scroll wheel to move selected point on curves. That shortcut was not previously available on Mac versions.. I am pretty sure not. Anyway, I miss it in v8. Now the arrow keys must be used.
  
  I wonder if changes to shortcuts are to get Mac and Win versions more aligned. This is only a guess on my part. I do know the Mac version has some desirable aspects to it. So, if the move is to align them, the overall effect might be good for Win version.

  Cant you just use the eraser on the pen then? Or is flipping the pen around not ideal in your workflow?

  yeah, i guess that's a possible solution, although in my 22 years of using a Wacom, I've found it faster to use a side switch, press a button on the keyboard than to flip the pen over..
  
  i'll give it a go, thanks 😊

  I agree, but as long as we know that option works we can go from there.
