 Widgets like:

  * Zoom In
  * Zoom Out
  * Zoom Extents

 Are widgets that execute immediately when invoked. Such widgets are
 currently being highlighted in the toolbar, implying they only act on
 subsequent mouse clicks.

 This can lead to very confusing UX. For example, if the active tool is
 "Zoom Rectangle" and the user invokes the "Zoom Out" widget, the "Zoom
 Out" and "Zoom Rectangle" widgets are both highlighted. Being the last
 invoked widget, users may believe that the currently active tool is "Zoom
 Out" when in fact the active tool is still "Zoom Rectangle" which will
 confuse them when clicking will actually zoom in (Zoom Rectangle) instead
 of what they're expecting (Zoom Out)

 To avoid this confusion, such widgets should not stay highlighted when
 clicked.
