'Immediately' in the sense of the intermediate room [which is the one to the side of the room of origin - because Willy is moved horizontally before he is moved vertically when a jump key is pressed] not having its layout drawn to the playing area (i.e. the top two-thirds of screen).
But interestingly, the room name of the intermediate room is displayed briefly, before the room that lies diagonally up from the room of origin is drawn in full (i.e. both its layout and its room name on the status bar).
