#548: Non-modal widgets are incorrectly highlighted

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.
