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.

L’issue ne nomme aucun fichier source ni aucun test. Commencez par reproduire le comportement d’appels répétés à plt.show() avec le backend %matplotlib ipympl sur les versions de Jupyter et Python indiquées, puis comparez-le au backend par défaut. La tâche est terminée lorsque les appels répétés à show() ne dupliquent plus la sortie du graphique existant.
