It appears to me that a premature/unwanted "default" ball and stick display of the loaded molecule (before the scripted view) began occurring in Jmol 11.3.9-11. This did not happen in Jmol 11.3.7 or earlier.
I observe this in FirstGlance in Jmol. Here, the param script="..." in the <applet ...> tag first loads a dummy pdb file (1atom.pdb) which enables echoing a message "applet loading completed, now loading molecule". This is followed by a load command for the molecule of interest, and a long script which is intended not to show any molecular view until it is completed. (I can send the script on request.) When I use JmolApplet.jar 11.3.11 (or 11.3.10 or 11.3.9), a ball and stick view of the entire molecule displays on the white background used for the echos. This is premature and unwanted. A few seconds later, the intended molecular view appears on a black background. When I use JmolApplet.jar 11.3.7 (or 11.3.6, or 11.2.9, or 11.2.1, or 11.1.27) with the identical FirstGlance in Jmol, the premature and unwanted ball and stick view is NOT shown, although some dots are shown (all by themselves) prematurely before the final and intended molecular view appears. (These dots are supposed to appear later with the rendering of the entire molecule.)
