You haven't given anything like enough information. However, what I
suspect this means is that some other client, such as a window
manager, has a passive grab on the button, so when you pressed the
button, the other client grabbed it (causing a LeaveNotify to your
client), and then released the grab (causing the EnterNotify) and
passed the ButtonPress on to your client.
