Blank figures in Jupyter notebook

Nadie ha tomado este issue todavía.

I have happily used interactive plots in jupyter notebooks for years with `%matplotlib notebook`. Unfortunately, since version 7 was introduced, I have experienced troubles with getting interactive plotting to work properly. I read that version 7 requires installing *ipympl* and `%matplotlib ipympl`.

Today, I set up a fresh virtual environment and installed *jupyter* and *ipympl*. Figures are opening, the controls appear, a figure title appears, but the figure contains no content. There is also no error message on the browser's developer console.

Steps to reproduce:

```bash
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv debug
source debug/bin/activate

# Install jupyter and ipympl
pip install jupyter ipympl matplotlib numpy

# Open notebook
jupyter notebook
```

Then I use the code from the [basic example](https://matplotlib.org/ipympl/)

```python
%matplotlib ipympl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100)
y = np.sin(3*x)
ax.plot(x, y)
```

A white area is opening, the controls appear, but there is no figure content.

I have seen several similar issues on Stackoverflow, where the solution is usually to upgrade or downgrade one of the packages. However, these answers have aged as newer versions came out in the meantime. Is there a general recipe to identify the issue when interactive plotting fails?

Reproduce la figura en blanco utilizando los comandos del entorno virtual indicados y el ejemplo básico de ipympl. Empieza comprobando las versiones indicadas de Python, JupyterLab, notebook, ipympl y widget, así como su compatibilidad. Se considera terminado cuando se haya identificado la causa y documentado un diagnóstico fiable o una solución basada en las versiones de los paquetes para las figuras interactivas.
