From your reply below it seems like you have the customization for the
AF button on the "CANCEL AF" setting which sets the camera to manual
focus when the AF button is pressed - but only when continuing to press
the AF button. It will remain in manual as long as you hold down the AF
button but once you release it the camera reverts back to AF with the
shutter release button. Is it possible that's what's happening for you?

I've solved this prob by selecting spot focus in the centre of the
image, taking the focussing function away from the trigger, and putting
it on the AF button.
This way, you put the object you want to focus on smack in the centre of
the image, push the AF button and then reframe to get the shot you want.
Stop down a little and you're usually good for a few shots without
having to re-focus each time.
I pretty much do the same thing, but differently. I have the AF button set to
lock out AF, so I’ll depress the shutter until I get focus then lock it with
the AF button. Same thing, but in normal conditions I don’t have to think
about explicitly focusing. I was using the 35/1.4 rather than the 31/1.8 in
the low light explicitly because I needed the extra 2/3 of a stop, stopping
down a couple of stops would have been counterproductive. :-)
