Description
Hi, I use ipympl in jupyterlab.%matplotlib widget opens a different figure for the same cell after each run. Soon I'll get this max open warning, which is kinda irritating. %matplotlib notebook has no such issue. Is there a way to not open another figure in the same cell?

(%matplotlib widget)

(%matplotlib notebook)
