This is not a bug. You should call getPlot() and cast it to an XYPlot (given a candlestick chart). The getCategoryPlot() and getXYPlot() methods do the cast for you, but you still have to know which one to call - I should probably deprecate then remove those methods, they're not especially helpful.
