Here is what I fixed in revision #6519:

Now when dealing with a Menu event, the default behaviour of a control
is cancelled if:

1) The PopupMenu property is set, even if it is set with a non-existing 
menu name.

2) Or if the 'Menu' event handler is stopped with STOP EVENT.

3) Or if a popup menu is manually displayed (with the Popup() methid) 
during the 'Menu' event handler.

I think that behaviour is coherent without breaking too much what badly 
existed before.

If there is any problem with that, tell me before I start releasing the 3.6
