When you click one of the buttons "Create CMake files and run CMake", "Configure Third Party Folders" or "Install files to Build Folder", that button gets deactivated until you press "Update". This was originally thought as a reminder for the user, so he doesn't do the same operation twice (operations can take a long time, you start doing other stuff and forget), but instead goes on with the next step. Unfortunately in many cases the developers (not the one-time-compilation users) really want to execute the same operation again, e.g. because they modified something in a CSnake file or CMakeLists.txt of the project or because they checked/unchecked projects in the "Select Projects" tab. Then it's annoying to have to press Update and to wait until everything reloads. So several developers voted in favor of removing that button deactivation.
