Where are you calling SetModEventMask from?  Perhaps the STC is already 
in the process of calling the code that will send the event at the time 
you try to set the mask.

Scintilla doesn't differentiate between sending events only for user 
actions and not programatic ones like wx usually does.  You'll need to 
put a guard in your event handler if you don't want to respond to 
programatic changes.
