Yes, thats what I was talking about.
Whenever you move the mouse over the button it depresses until you click the
mouse button somewhere in the window (to register a button_release_event)
which then detects that the button isn't depressed.
I'm not really sure how to fix it, but I think you may need to use
gtk_widget_ungrab () or gtk_grab_remove () (I've not looked at the code, so
I don't know if you've used them or not - this is just me stabbing in the
dark)
