afaik that's a problem with UI elements that grab the mouse (popups, dnd, 
pushed buttons...)
the hover state isn't properly updated (by X?)
the only way i know to handle this, is to implement an extra eventhandler 
which polls the mouse pos. every few ms... :-(

i assume this is mostly a learning problem. after a few trials, you'll 
instinctively move the mouse to the right end when you just want to clear the 
line (and in addition, the button could be kept visible for focussed lines 
anyway)
