For some reason, we were encountering this bug even with ipympl 0.9.6 installed in the environment we were using. After restarting the kernel multiple times, we don't encounter the bug anymore - maybe a caching issue? Thanks!

Still getting the same error with matplitlib 3.10.3 and ipympl 0.9.7 on completely clean and uncached builds, don't think this can be should be closed yet.

I am having the same issue with 3.10.3 / 0.9.7 on Ubuntu 24.04 in a fresh conda env. Had to roll back to 3.7.5 and 0.9.3 to get interactivity to work.

a problem with the jupyter extension? if you have it handy, could you link to the bug report?

There is a discussion in #30337 with steps to reproduce the problem in VSCode whereas the problem does not occur in JupyterLab.
