Slava, instead of turning the autoHilite off, you need to turn the
"traversalOn" off (what the Inspector shows as "Focus with keyboard"
checkbox).
What's happening is that when the focus is in the field and you go to click
the button, the focus is shifting automatically to the button you clicked
because the "traversalOn" property is "true" by default for buttons. If you
turn that off, the button won't be *focusable*, but it will still
automatically highlight when clicked (assuming the "autoHilite" is "true").
