The link below is to the feedback of an Adobe forum. Press A (for the selection/direct selection tool) immediately after the drawing by clicking away from it désélectionnera it. I don't know any preference to change the behavior, though.
I personally prefer, but I understand wanting to option. Vector was significantly redesigned after that, and it seems that the default is now to leave entirely selected. In CS6, the path is deselected, but still actively targeted. Select all the points when feather fill/close a path of the tool. It should be an option to 'flick upwards' or something like that when you choose 'print on both sides', uncheck this option. When I print double-sided the second draws on the reverse side
