System Information
Operating system: Darwin-20.2.0-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 555X OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-4.2.13

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-01-15 15:35, hash: c4286ddb09
Worked: Unsure

Short description of error
When in Sculpt Mode bringing up the Tools menu using Spacebar (or Shift-Spacebar) frequently shows the menu briefly and then it disappears selecting the brush under the cursor. Summoning the menu again always works after the initial failure.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
It is difficult to definitely describe when this goes wrong but here is what I have noticed so far. It always fails right after entering Sculpt mode. E.g.

Enter Object mode
Enter Sculpt mode
Use Spacebar or Shift-Spacebar (according to your settings) to try to bring up the tools menu.
Observe that the menu displays and instantly disappears selecting whatever brush was under the cursor.
Use Spacebar or Shift-Spacebar again to summon the menu.
Observe that the menu works properly

Frequently the problem occurs again right after completing some sculpting activities but not always. It usually happens with the "blue" brushes (e.g. Draw, Draw Sharp, Clay, Claiy Strips, Clay Thumb, Layer, Inflate, Blob). The problem seems to only manifest when trying the bring up the Tools menu while the cursor is still over the geometry being sculpted. If the cursor is over the background I do not observe the problem:

Enter Sculpt mode
Choose the Draw brush
Do some sculpting
Keep the cursor over the geometry being sculpted
Use Spacebar or Shift-Spacebar to try to bring up the Tools menu
Frequently observe that them menu displaces and instantly disappears
Use Spacebar or Shift-Spacebar again to summon the menu.
Observe that the menu works properly
Do some more sculpting
Move the cursor away from the geometry being sculpted and over the background
Use Spacebar or Shift-Spacebar to try to bring up the Tools menu
Observe that the menu works properly
