Default problem editing buttons in button editor

Fireworks v. 9.0.0.1188

I have created a 4 state button & saved it to my button library. Now I need
to modify the graphic but cannot select it. When I first click on the "down"
state, the graphic is selected along with the "active area." If I grab the
button I can move it but then it immediately snaps back to it's original
position. I then cannot select the button again until I click to another state
and then back again to "down." This problem is not just with the "down" state
but all states. The documentation makes clear that I can just double click on
the button, either on the workspace or in the library, make my edits and then
click "done" in the button editor window. Clearly I've either done something
incorrect to lock the graphic or my understanding of the process is incorrect.
Any help appreciated.

Can you upload a copy of the PNG file to your website for us to have a
look at?
