Shadow doesn't disappear on active until I move mouse - css

Question

I have the following CSS for a button:
login #submit, .grey_part_right1 #submit, .button99{
background: #9dd53a; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #9dd53a 0%, #a1d54f 50%, #80c217 51%, #7cbc0a 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#9dd53a), color-stop(50%,#a1d54f), color-stop(51%,#80c217), color-stop(100%,#7cbc0a)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #9dd53a 0%,#a1d54f 50%,#80c217 51%,#7cbc0a 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #9dd53a 0%,#a1d54f 50%,#80c217 51%,#7cbc0a 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #9dd53a 0%,#a1d54f 50%,#80c217 51%,#7cbc0a 100%); /* IE10+ */
background: linear-gradient(top, #9dd53a 0%,#a1d54f 50%,#80c217 51%,#7cbc0a 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#9dd53a', endColorstr='#7cbc0a',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 8px 6px -6px #666;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 8px 6px -6px #666;
box-shadow: 0 8px 6px -6px #666;
border: 1px solid #48922c;
float: left;
height: 30px;
padding: 0;
padding-bottom:4px;
width: 100px;
cursor: pointer;
font: bold 13px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #fff;
}
When the user clicks the button i want the shadow to go, and am moving the button 2px down and thus creating a 'real' button effect. So I have button with class=button99 and add the following:
.button99:active {
margin-top:2px;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none
}
But the shadow does not go away until i move the mouse away from the button with the mouse button still down...
Any ideas why it does not immediately go away?
