This is not a bug.  Your workaround is what you were supposed to do in
the first place.  While it may require slightly more code you should
always check the flags of intuition objects.

On a related subject: Why is it that when I have a StringInfo Gadget I
get a GADGETUP and then a GADGETDOWN message.  I can understand
getting two messages (even if I don't want them) but, not UP and then
DOWN.  What's the deal here?  Is this a bug, or have I made a boo-boo.
