If I select an element in a diagram and moves it to the border of the window and
while autoscrolling is in progress press the right mouse button the popup menu
is displayed. Now the app gets into a state where it just continues to
autoscroll even after releasing the all mouse buttons and  the popup menu stays
up without it being possible to select anything from it, nor is it possible to
cancel the menu by pressing escape or clicking anywhere else. I have to kill my
app from the Windows Task Manager (yes, Windows XP it is).

While this may be considered obscure it is the kind of thing that many persons
may do accidently given enough attempts. This is how I ran into it, i.e, my
fingers slipped on the mouse while autoscrolling.

I'm able to reproduce part of the issue, where if auto-scrolling begins and right-mouse is clicked it will continue to auto-scroll even if the left mouse is no longer pressed.  However, a simple click away from the menu stops the auto-scrolling from continuing.
