This can happen if you have auto-hilite set to true for a button while a 
script tries to manipulate the hilite as well. It's usually best to 
choose one way or the other; either let the autohiliting be in charge, 
or write scripts to manage things instead. In this case, I think I'd put 
in mousedown and mouseup scripts that set the hilite and turn off the 
auto-hilite property entirely.
