Hilite bug in OS X appearance manager?

[Sarah]

I can confirm this. I had a similar problem when trying to make header 
buttons for sortable columns. In the end, I used a workaround which was 
to set the hilite to true and then immediately back to false in the 
mouseUp handler (or equivalent).

It does seem that this only happens when locking the screen.

Cheers,
Sarah
