Try this:

I would not listen for  the mouseClicked event.

Instead, I'd try listening for the mouseDown event and 
set a member variable with the state of the CTRL key.  
Then, when the actionPerformed event is handled, check 
the state.  If member variable, "wasCTRLpressed" is true, 
simply return from the actionPerformed event handler.
