Hi Alex,

Could not we call that an IDE worrying dysfunction dedicated to programmers? There's a little chance to encounter this feature in any standalone or even in any stack normally used :-)

Actually, I encountered this in "normal" stack usage :-) The Mac version of the problem (only droppings from selection handles) I might consider an IDE-only problem, but on WinXP it leaves behind remnants of the edges of the button itself, even with "Suspend Dev tools" in place.

I was thinking about the Space Invaders game mentioned by Nicholas, and thought I'd play for 5 minutes. The easiest way to handle the "player" in SI was to create a button, give it an image and have it move horizontally to track the mouse - and immediately I saw the problem.

OK - once I investigated it a bit, I discovered that making it not be the default button cured it, but it took me a little while playing with different option settings on the button to find that.

So it's certainly not a serious problem - but it's definitely a problem, and if I had been developing on a Mac, I wouldn't have known that on the PC an "unselected" button has this bad habit.
