I just had a similar experience which turns out to be a bug in MetaCard.
If you have a button with a hiliteIcon set but no regular icon set, the
hiliteIcon is not removed when you release the mouse. In other words,
once you've clicked the button, it appears to be permanently in the
"down" position until you change cards and go back again (opening the
card clears the hiliteIcon.)
Until the bug is fixed, the solution is to assign either a non-existent
icon number to the button as the regular icon (for example, assign it an
ID of 3, which has no corresponding icon in MetaCard,) or assign a
one-pixel transparent gif graphic as the icon. The danger with assigning
a non-existent icon is that in the future those icon IDs may represent a
real icon in MetaCard, and you will get an unexpected icon when running
under those versions.
