I thought about that. I even thought about changing the initial color to
white or radius to zero.
But I am thinking this is a bug. When blitting, whatever is created with
the init function is not removed. That is why lines that are animated
initially have no data. For a Patch object this is a bit harder, as it
needs something to begin with.
It seems that this used to work in a previous version.
Should I file a bug report?
