Yes, I see the same here. G4, OS X 10.3.7, Shockwave 10.1. On the other hand, in Windows (XP, IE 6.1, Firefox 1.0) I see the reverse behavior: MouseDown - reverse color, but as soon as I move the mouse (1 px is enough) while still over the button, it resets again.

In other words, you push down the mouse button, and the button's appearance does not change. Then move the mouse a tiny bit without releasing the button, and the colors on the button are reversed. This happens at least half the time I try to click the button. > > Is this a known quirk? What am I missing?
