Plot is duplicated with repeated calls to plt.show()

Describe the issue

When I use the "%matplotlib ipympl" backend and display a plot with plt.show(), it works fine, but that plot is displayed again for every future call to plt.show(). The expected behavior is for show() to not repeat the plot output. This occurs with a fresh Anaconda (2024.10-1) installation of Python (3.12.7). This does not happen with default backend.

I believe that last error is expected for notebook>7, but I'm not certain.

Das Issue nennt keine Quelldateien oder Tests. Reproduziere zunächst das Verhalten wiederholter plt.show()-Aufrufe mit dem %matplotlib ipympl-Backend unter den angegebenen Jupyter- und Python-Versionen und vergleiche es anschließend mit dem Standard-Backend. Erledigt ist die Aufgabe, wenn wiederholte show()-Aufrufe die vorhandene Plot-Ausgabe nicht mehr duplizieren.
