Description

In normal Jupyter notebooks using the %matplotlib notebook magic command, scroll events are detected. In Jupyter-Lab with the %matplotlib widget magic command scroll events are not detected.

Is there a way to fix this?

I can post screen captures if needed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in JupyterLab with %matplotlib widget, then compare scroll handling with a normal notebook using %matplotlib notebook. Trace the JupyterLab widget integration and verify that scroll events are detected in the widget backend; the issue provides no file or test to begin from.
