Description
Describe the bug
The code recompiles when exiting the serial console view. This causes problems when you're logging from the device in an event handler--I shake the microbit, "Show Console" appears, I go into the console, I exit the console and the button is suddenly gone.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by logging from a micro:bit event handler, opening Show Console, and exiting the serial console view. Trace the editor entry point that handles console exit and identify why it recompiles; done means exiting leaves the compiled program and Show Console button intact.
