This behavior is observed on Karmic (9.10) with HeeksCAD r1071.

Start HeeksCAD and "mouse over" any of the icons on the tool bar, for
example the "Draw a sketch" icon.  A graphical menu flies out with
different ways to draw a sketch.   The mouse is over the original "Draw a
sketch" icon at the top of the fly-out menu, yet that icon is not selected.
 Clicking at this point has no effect.

To select the top icon you have to move the mouse down in the menu to
mouse-over a different sketch icon, then back up to the top icon, *then*
you can click it.

I notice the same behavior, but had thought that it was because I was running 
on a
Mac under wxGtk. Thanks for confirming this.

The "Redraw" (swirly arrow) icon does not have this behavior (at least on my
machine).  When you mouse-over *it*, it immediately becomes selected and can be 
clicked.

Maybe because it doesn't have a fly-out menu?

I think this behaviour happens for everyone with Linux. For Windows it is OK, 
but I
don't get tooltips for fly-out icons.
Yes, "Redraw" is just a normal toolbar tool, but the others are added with
AddToolBarFlyout ( in CHeeksFrame::AddToolBars() ). I have tried to fix this 
problem,
but I couldn't find a way.
