    Button glitches happen. Sometimes, as Nedim​ pointed out, creating new ones fixes the glitch.

    I don't think variables are needed for tracking in this situation, though. When an object has a Selected state and a Visited state, a trigger will recognize it as Visited even though it will show as Selected when first clicked. (Yup. They made the program smart enough to know that an object that's been selected has also been visited. 🤣)

    • If the object isn't in a button set, it will toggle between Visited and Selected on subsequent clicks. 
    • If the object is in a button set, it will change to Visited when another object in the button set is Selected.
