You can make two icons in the Options menu get highlighted at once (see steps).
No great shakes. Should be simple to fix. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools- Options
2. Click (and release) General
3. Click Privacy, and drag to Web Features then release
4. Two icons are now highlighted
Actual Results:  
not much. Doesn't hurt anything! Just looks weird...

Expected Results:  
Switched to Web Features, or Privacy (or not switch at all, which is what it
does at the moment), I don't know. Up to you. Most importantly, the highlighted
icons should be sorted. IE only one at a time.
Confirming and reassigning to Ben.
The second highlighted item keeps the active state after click, drag and release.

Summary: Simple highlighting bug with icons in the left column of the options menu → Icons highlighting bug in the options menu
This is an event handling bug that exists for anything using :hover elements
(try it on a webpage with A:hover elements, click, hold, drag, release,  hover
state remains even though you aren't focusing)  unfortunately I can't find the
bug # for this (exists in SeaMonkey too)

easy hack to fix this behaviour is adding onmouseover="focus();" to the vbox in
pref.xul, since the default skin has padding between the icons it works.  Other
skins that don't use :hover are not affected by this bug.
Bug 209493 is dupe of this I think

I can't find the :hover bug mentioned by Mike in comment #2. 
Related bugs are:
bug 127675
bug 20022
bug 130999
bug 52766
Actually, the :hover glitch exists in IE6 too, maybe its a tough thing to handle
properly.

In any case, this can get fixed with the hack I suggested.  Once I get my CVS
tree to build, I'll be attaching patches again.
