1 month ago I don't think this is a graphics issue, per se. The issue, I think, is that the compiled program (Life in this case) continues to run (and hence update the Graphics pane) even when you invoke Load or New, and overwrites the new program's Graphics output. I'm pretty sure the same thing would happen for the Console window to (which Life does not update).
Pressing Load or New should:
- Halt and delete any existing program.
- Clear both Console and Graphics windows of any residual content
Loading snake while life was running left the graphics pane with life displaying but it wouldn't then clear
See also #599 - probably best done at the same time.
