Losing Layer focus PS CC?


i create multiple paths on single layer intention of applying stroke each of them @ same time.  typically lay out paths , go in direct select tool refine them before applying stroke.

in previous versions, once i'd made last adjustment click off subpath i'd been editing , right-click , choose stroke path, thereby applying stroke each of paths.  (if don't deselect last sub-path working on, option on right-click stroke sub-path.)

in cc, once click in blank area deselect sub-path deselects layer (removes highlight layer in layer panel), of right-click options greyed out. have move on layer panel , reselect layer want apply strokes on.

it's possible old approach bad , should feel bad, , added step of having re-highlight layer in layer panel bestest thing ever, i'd kind of able avoid additional step.  is, i'm assuming somehow feature , not bug.

if there's no way around having reselect layer after deselecting sub-path (or after clicking on blank area direct select tool in general), in alternative, there @ least quick way select of sub-paths @ once without losing layer focus?

just upgraded photoshop cc , having issue too.  if click off path deselect it, focused layer gets deselected , layer panel jumps top of list.  horrible if have 75 layers , 1 need near bottom, dissrupts workflow.  why path selection tool affect selected layer?  both types of path selection tools cause this.
