Yes, Peter, I've seen the same behavior. Reclicking on the button seems
to correct it. The trick to avoiding it seems to be to be sure
to not move the mouse while clicking. (There must be some confusion between
MouseClicked and MousePressed. Clicks only occur when the mouse is not
moving.)

Best Regards,

Carl
