Description

I am running a `hvplot()` on a `xarray` in a `Jupyter Notebook` in `VSCode` and the figure is flickering if it has a legend.

![flickering_legend](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c0e9594a-c334-4503-bbd6-aa8f510d452d)

The changing size of the figure with the legend is unwanted and makes is hard to focus on the shown data. To me it looks like the figure is updated twice, once without the legend and then the total available space is used, and a second time with the legend.

If this is right, there is somewhere in the process a unneeded calculation.

## Comment

I was trying to reproduce this in a browser in `JupyterLab` and `JupyterNotebook` but there was no flickering. I don't know why. I guess the update frequency can be different, which could explain the different visual observations.

- [x] I may be interested in making a pull request to address this
