Logic Pro isn't registering my keyboard shortcuts.

I've run into a weird annoyance ever since updating to the latest Logic Pro and upgrading to Tahoe.

I'll be working in Logic and trying to switch tools - specifically from the pointer too (which I have mapped to A) and the scissors tool (which I have mapped to B). I'm constantly swapping between these two tools and hitting A/B to do so. However I've noticed since updating half the time that Logic doesn't actually register the pressed key. And it's driving me MENTAL. I sometimes will have to hit A or B two or three times before the proper tool actually activates.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? And if so, have you found a solution?
