If I close the image editor and open it again with a new image, I see the
canvas cleared until the new image is loaded.
In constrast, if I do not close the image editor, but switch windows and select
a new image from the icon view to load, indeed the old image is shown until the
new one is loaded, but with a waiting cursor.
Is this the problem you are reporting?

We cannot know if the image editor window is visible or not, so the problem is
the same as if the user selects a new image from the thumbnail bar in the image
editor itself. So this amounts to "show more clearly that another image is
being loaded". I could imagine drawing a YouTube-style progress indicator over
the old image, maybe with some transparency fading.
