Border screen "artifacts" on dynamically moving button on Windows

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Ken,

I wish it were that simple... traversalOn is false (not checked in the 
properties)

We can boil this down now to a problem with the left mouse  button on 
Windows... right mouse button click down doesn't affect it... it works 
as expected the "artifact" of the sudden and persistence appearance of 
the border of the button only appears when the left mouse button is 
click...
