Can you describe what you did?  AFAICT, you clicked on "Edit" first, and
then in the end you clicked on "Goto line...", and I gues in the middle
you clicked on "Go To".  Not sure why we only see 2 clicks above.

Which event queue?
Also, isn't it possible that you have not yet released the mouse button
when you try to remove those mouse events?

But only while the menu is displayed.  After selecting "Goto line..."
(which seems to happen on the down-mouse-1 event) you pop down the menu
and you don't use the special map any more.

You might like to change the way your menus work so that it is the
up-mouse (i.e. mouse-1) which performs the action and the down-mouse
which are ignored.

Of course, the first up-mouse event should be ignored if it happens very
soon after the menu was popped up (and at about the same place as the
down-mouse that triggered the menu).
