hi-lock-unface-buffer shows popup-menu if bound to function key

[Stefan Daschek]

I tried to bind hi-lock-unface-buffer to C-S-F11 with the following
statement:

(global-set-key [(control shift f11)] 'hi-lock-unface-buffer)

Now pressing C-S-F11 results in a popup-menu titled "Select pattern to
unhighlight". This seems to happen regardless of which function key
and modifiers are used. However, binding hi-lock-unface-buffer to
something like C-c u works correctly.

I even tried with emacs -q --no-site-file but that did not help either.

This works for me in the latest Emacs on GNU/Linux, using X.

Weird - under the same setup as you, I get the behaviour reported by the OP.
I'm using a fresh build from CVS sources less than 24 hours old, started
with -q --no-site-file.
