When a 2D animation tab is created, the tools are the stay the same as in the layout tab. Additionally, the grease pencil strokes are not visible in the 2D animation tab and will only show up under all over tabs such as modeling, scripting, layout, etc.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open blender, click outside the splash screen. You are at the default scene under the layout tab with the cube, camera, and lamp. Open a new tab for 2D animation. You will see that the tools and interface do not change to the default 2D animation setting found when selecting 2D animation from the splash screen. Now try to draw with the grease pencil. Nothing shows up, whether you press and hold D to draw or select the pencil icon nothing happens. But if you return to the layout tab, you'll see the strokes you made. Browse through the other tabs and you can see the strokes; it is only under the 2D animation tab that the strokes are not visible. However, if you close Blender and launch it once again, you can select the 2D animation workspace from the splash screen and everything will appear as it should. All the tools for 2D animation will be there and the grease pencil strokes will be visible. Am I doing something wrong here?
