This happens if the button's autoselect property is true. If you set the 
autoselect to false, text will remain selected. If you want the button 
to hilite when clicked, you'll have to handle that in a script that sets 
the hilite to true on mousedown and sets it back to false on mouseup and 
mouserelease.
