Hand brush upgrade for Antiquities bugged? (Double-fires excavation tools damaging relic)

So I used a skillpoint to upgrade the hand brush tool for Antiquities Excavation. This increased the "max intuition" from 2 to 4.
Based on the tooltip, I thought it would allow me to bank extra intuition. That way I would not lose intuition (have it wasted) if I wanted to brush off some extra dirt - and still have the generated intuition saved so I could use the shovel or trowel (which cost 2 intuition). It would make it easier to find bonus loot since I can dig up more dirt.
However, there seems to be a bug. On PC, using the shovel or trowel (cost: 2 intuition) when I have 4 intuition banked because of my upgraded skill causes the shovel/trowel to fire twice, using up all my intuition. Even if I only pressed the tool key once and just want to use the tool once.
This is bad, because now I can accidentally overdig by having the trowel dig twice - damaging and destroying the antiquity! The upgrade makes the skill totally worse. This is really sad, because I now have to respec to undo the upgrade - costing me more gold then I ever earned from antiquities.

Czeri✭✭✭✭✭You don't have to stack 4 intuitions to use it, it works with two and only does one layer, just as before the upgrade. But you have the extra flexibility to stack more if you want.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭This is the normal mechanic, @Kharnamantic, and a common player misunderstanding.
You can only use the intuition that's displayed on the toolbar ... up to 4 maximum. There is no "banked" intuition above 4.
If you only want to fire the shovel/trowel once (using 2 intuition), then the toolbar must be at either 2 or 3.
If you want to fire the shovel/trowel twice (using 4 intuition), then the toolbar must be at a full 4.
As you advance your excavating skill, it is possible to randomly get a free use of the shovel/trowel in either scenario above (without using intuition) ... so it helps to plan ahead for your next shovel/trowel use after the current one.
Hopefully that explains it ... but post any other questions you might have.
