I believe the lockscreen should remain in place even when creating objects.

You might double-check to make sure the stack that's the defaultStack is 
the one you want locked at the time the lockscreen is set.

That might come into play if the button creation is triggered by a user 
action in a palette window, for example, where the defaultstack is the 
palette window being interacted with while the topstack is the document 
where the resulting object should appear.

If your setup has everything happening in one window there might be 
something else at play, perhaps a newObject handler in the IDE that's 
changing the lockscreen without being mindful of matching lock and 
unlock commands.
