Description:	Given the following Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 example: console hide wm state . zoomed raise . frame .tb -bd 1 -relief raised button .tb.bt1 -text "Button1" -relief flat -overrelief raised pack .tb -fill x -side top pack .tb.bt1 -side left When the mouse hovers over Button1 it's -overrelief option is raised. However, after the button is pressed the relief is returning back to the -relief option, even though the mouse is still hovering over the button. Button1 should still be in it's -overrelief state always as long as the mouse is over it, even if the button was pressed. Thanks! USCode
User Comments:	nemethi (claiming to be Csaba Nemethi) added on 2026-09-29 17:09:31: Serhiy, many thanks for fixing this very long-standing bug! The fix is now merged into main, core-9-0-branch, and core-8-6-branch by commits [3aa08341], [50f72925], and [ee0599a5]. Closing the ticket. serhiy.storchaka added on 2026-09-28 20:05:56: Still reproducible with 9.1 on X11 and Windows. `tk::ButtonUp` restores the saved `-relief` after a click even if the mouse is still in the button, so `-overrelief` is lost until the mouse leaves and enters the button again. Checkbuttons and radiobuttons are not affected. Proposed fix in branch button-overrelief-after-click, with test button-16.1. jenglish added on 2005-01-18 00:09:56: Logged In: YES user_id=68433 Same thing happens on X11. nobody added on 2005-01-12 06:13:46: Logged In: NO Sorry, forgot to mention this is on WindowsXP. nobody added on 2005-01-12 06:13:03: Logged In: NO Sorry, forgot to mention this is on WindowsXP.
