Bryan reports on a bug with string gadgets, and I would like to say that
it is a 'known' bug as of about a month ago it was reported/acknowledged
on BIX in the amiga.dev/bugs topic. Some background :

When you have a string gadget, and it is in a _Requester_ and you change
the text programatically, and then Refresh the gadget, the cursor reappears.

The workaround is to turn off the flag GADGHCOMP in the Flags variable,
(which disables displaying the cursor), Refreshing the gadget, and then
putting GADGHCOMP back in. Note if you leave GADGHCOMP unset then even
when the gadget is selected it won't have a cursor.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
