Image is broken. Try uploading it to im​gur (or an equivalent), and then post the URL that comes out, in [img] tags, of course.

At least for regular Life, I see it dying out very quickly. What rule are you using?

That is definitely not in normal B3/S23 life, but probably a rule like Coral. Look at the top of the window and tell us what it says in the [] brackets before '- Golly'. That will probably explain the pattern shown.

Thees also B3/S34578 which gives it more spaces.

B3/S45678 is the rule known as Coral, where most patterns exhibit this kind of behavior. I assume you opened a file or pasted in a pattern in the rule coral and then forgot to change the rule back.
