Description

While digitizing line or polygon feature, you can switch between the simple "Add feature" and "Add circular string" tools.
When switching from "Add feature" to "Add circular string", the rubberband is active and help to follow the geometry being drawn.
But when switching from "Add circular string" (or by radius) to "Add feature" tool, no rubberband is displayed and the user can think that something is going wrong with the digitizing process.

Actually it looks like it's (partially) fixed in 3.1 (I guess 3.0 too) though when switching from "circular tools" to "add feature", the rubberband line is lost until you place a vertex. And then, it's back.
The other issue is the loss of the rubberband fill each time you use the circular tools (and same for other shape digitizing tools - see #18252).
