Auto focusing - Konica Hexar AF

Hello.
I have a question. My Konica Hexar AF is acting strangely, I just noticed. I get used to that all the autofocus cameras operate in such fashion that you press the button half way, focus, then recompose the shot and focus remains where it was originally.
What I noticed about my camera: say I focus on a subject 1 ft from a camera. It focuses fine, but when I (while keeping the button pressed half way) recompose the shot so that the object in focus is on the side of a frame, and try to press the button all the way down- it seems to refocuses again, and fires the shot with focus on whatever happen to be in the middle of a frame... I dont understand how to help this, is my camera screwd up or it's me?
Thanks!

Sounds like the shutter button is sticky to me. You need to clean the contact.
