I am so used to that screen that I never take the time to really read 
it. I don't know why, but I feel a bit stupid this morning :-)

To return to normal, full image rendering, just clear the command line box.

I have now also the /real/ answer to my question in this ng, on april 
22nd 2011: Missing feature: Rerun

With time, everything becomes clear.
