What do you two expect this construct to do that you think the current behavior is wrong? It’sobviously correct and expected to me as a fundamental part of Object Pascal’s polymorphism. Constructing an object from a class reference is the entire reason that constructors are virtual. It’s how things like TPicture.Graphic are implemented to create the correct image loading object.
