Ringhio is not at fault, although it is highly likely that the way it draws its notifications means Intuition isn't aware it is open. However, it must be locking the screen, otherwise the screen would close. The bug is that Intuition should not be reporting that it has closed a screen successfully when it hasn't.

Not necessarily. If Ringhio is PATCHING Intuition or the underlying graphics functions, Intuition may not be getting accurate results to pass back to your program. Your test proves nothing unless we see the Ringhio code to be sure that it is not altering Intuition. I can cause failures or even crashes in a lot of system libraries by giving NULL or incorrect pointers to some functions. That doesn't necessarily mean those libraries are bugged, it just means I wrote a defective program.
