Funky behavior of hidden morphs?

Spurred on by the recent posting of Menu Bar for 3.x, I set out to fix one
of my chief annoyances with the Squeak UI- management of collapsed
windows.
The problem I'm running into has to do with #hide'ing and #show'ing
windows. When a morph is hidden by sending it the message #hide, a shadow
of it is still there. When I click on a spot where the now hidden morph
once was, a black rectangle pops up, and causes all sorts of trouble.
Is this the way Morph>>#hide and #show should behave and the semantics are
just confusing me? What would the proper way to handle this be? Perhaps
collapsing (in the usual way as per SystemWindow>>#collapseOrExpand) and
moving it out of the visible bounds?
Thanks!
