Main Page Glitch

Occasionally, the Main Pages can produce some odd glitches by clicking and holding down a button, and then dragging off them. This is due to the limits of the Macromedia Flash software. Specifically, any image or animation that only appears while the cursor stays over a button remains if you click the left mouse button and hold it down, then drag the cursor away from the Main Page button, and let go.

This is a list of oddities and inconsistencies in the Main Pages caused by this glitch. In the list below, "&" is used if it doesn't matter which is done first and "→" if they must be done in order.
