When  Ctrl/Cmd key is pressed, the mouseDown is activated repeatedly. If the 
mouseDown  does a lot of menu-building and is only needed when the user 
actually selects a  menu, we need a means of escaping all this unecessary activity 
when the mouse is  not down (as in a Ctrl/Cmd shortcut activation). Rather 
esoteric until it bites  you, at which point is becomes very real!
