    See this. I certainly delete 'B' stamp, but if I load recent stamp, It's recovered..?

    The last stamp you have used or save is cached, so instead of loading the stamp from disk it just keeps it in memory. Apparently that isn't cleared when you delete a stamp ... I can probably fix it

    Actually, I can see this being useful if you accidentally delete the most recent stamp. It's not exactly a major or game breaking bug is it? All it does is literally load the most recent stamp, deleted or not.
    I don't see how it could annoy anyone?

    But for someone, It can be a bug.
    As you can see, Wiki says "L : Load last saved stamp", But actually it isn't.
    It means that this function is working wrong.

    But fixing it doesn't really have any use. Leaving it as it does have a use, recovering a deleted stamp.
    There are no disadvantages to keeping the 'bug', but there are disadvantages to 'fixing' it (stamp permanently gone).
    There are advantages to keeping it (recovery of deleted stamp), but no advantages to 'fixing' it.

     Well... Let's take a situation.

    I maked bomb A and bomb B.

    Then I saved stamp bomb A , then bomb B.

    Open a save to test, then I typed 'L' to load bomb B.

    But its test result was terrible, bomb B was failure.

    So I deleted the stamp of bomb B, then I reset the save.

    And I type 'L' to load the stamp of bomb A, but strangely loaded the stamp of bomb B.

    Why don't you uncomfortable then?

    I just got rid of the cache for the last stamp you loaded. 'l' will now always load the latest stamp from disk: https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy/commit/35782fdd10934a00595fff69bf9485265f887872
