This report refers to the two menus, produced by CTRL-left and CTRL-middle.
If the mouse button is released before the xterm menu is mapped, the menu
appears and does not go away until the mouse is pressed and released again.
This requires quick fingers or a high load. If the other button is pressed
quickly enough after the first, the second menu overlays the first (which
remains around as a blank window until next used).
I assume the cause is that the button release event never gets to the menu
if it comes before the menu is mapped (or if the other menu is created later,
grabbing the mouse); I don't have a fix.
