Your image includes delay or loop metadata. Try display -delay 0 *.png.

Issue isn't related to specific image or file. If you just open display window without any arguments $ display and then left click on display -> Help -> About Display. Notice window still closes by itself after few seconds. Addin delay option doesn't change this behavior $ display -delay 0

Understood now. The behavior is as designed. We get notice banners on our Linux Desktop, for example, and they are ephemeral, after a few seconds they disappear. Our preference is to keep the existing behavior unless there is a compelling reason to change it.
