The JPopup component never announces a "popupMenuCanceled" event.
It is very important for the get an event if the popup menu
is left without a selection. The singleSelectionModel doesn't
keep the right state - even if I select a menuitem.

The following source code demonstrates the problem
(it is out of the book "programming with jfc")
