- [X] I have checked the [release documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/release/) and the [latest documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/) (for `master` branch).
### Describe the issue
Updating an ImageWidget can change other ImageWidgets, if their initial pixel data is identical. (This issue has also been observed with a mix of ImageWidget and Open3DScene.set_background().)
### Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
1. Run the below program
2. The three ImageWidgets are green, red, green
3. Click the checkbox, which calls update_image() on the bottom ImageWidget
4. The ImageWidgets are now red, red, red
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import open3d
import numpy as np
app = open3d.visualization.gui.Application.instance
app.initialize()
img1 = np.asarray([[[0, 255, 0]]*64]*64, dtype=np.uint8)
img2 = np.asarray([[[255, 0, 0]]*64]*64, dtype=np.uint8)
window = app.create_window()
imgview1 = open3d.visualization.gui.ImageWidget()
imgview1.update_image(open3d.geometry.Image(img1))
imgview2 = open3d.visualization.gui.ImageWidget()
imgview2.update_image(open3d.geometry.Image(img2))
imgview3 = open3d.visualization.gui.ImageWidget()
imgview3.update_image(open3d.geometry.Image(img1))
check = open3d.visualization.gui.Checkbox("This checkbox updates the bottom ImageWidget")
check.set_on_checked(lambda checked: imgview3.update_image(open3d.geometry.Image(img2 if checked else img1)))
sidebar = open3d.visualization.gui.Vert()
window.add_child(sidebar)
sidebar.add_child(imgview1)
sidebar.add_child(imgview2)
sidebar.add_child(imgview3)
sidebar.add_child(check)
app.run()
```
### Error message
Not applicable, there are no errors
### Expected behavior
The ImageWidgets shuld be green, red, red at step 4; the top one should not be affected by updating a different ImageWidget
