Custom Text Drawing Buttons

I have created 10 different “Custom Text Drawing” buttons in a control bar.

For example, if I click on the first one, the second one is immediately set to “active,” and if I now click with the left mouse button in the chart, the text of the second button is immediately displayed. Then the third one is activated, and so on.
Clicking with the right mouse button neutralizes the “activation” of the buttons.
I only want to click once, and further activation should be disabled immediately afterwards.

Where can I disable this?

Thank you very much.
