FigureWidget + go.Image.source breaks notebook kernel in VSCode

I encounter a bug in VSCode notebook when using a FigureWidget for a go.Image trace using source string instead of z attribute (px.imshow optimization).

The bug is: once you hover the image with mouse the kernel is unresponsive, i.e. you can't run any cell anymore.

The bug is not present when running the notebook through Jupyter web interface.

Reproducible example

import numpy as np
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.utils import image_array_to_data_uri

img = (np.random.rand(10, 10, 3) * 255).astype(np.uint8)
img_str = image_array_to_data_uri(img)

# --- Using normal go.Figure is OK
# px.imshow(img) # OK
# go.Figure(go.Image(z=img)) # OK
# go.Figure(go.Image(source=img_str)) # OK

# --- Using go.FigureWidget and Image.z is OK
# go.FigureWidget(go.Image(z=img)) # OK

# --- Using go.FigureWidget and Image.source is NOT OK
# go.FigureWidget(px.imshow(img)) # NOK
go.FigureWidget(go.Image(source=img_str)) # NOK

Reproduce el ejemplo proporcionado de FigureWidget en un notebook de VSCode, comparando go.Image(source=...) con go.Image(z=...) y la ejecución web equivalente de Jupyter. Rastrea la interacción del notebook FigureWidget activada al pasar el cursor sobre la imagen respaldada por source; el issue estará terminado cuando pasar el cursor ya no deje el kernel sin responder y continúe la ejecución normal de las celdas.
