Hi I am finding an issue with pycharm console (PyCharm 2023.2.7 community edition) when I set up a new venv and install matplotlib (3.9.0), I find that I am unable to plot a figure.
When I type the following:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10))
plt.show()
The figure window opens but then stays in a minimized form that cannot be expanded (windows spinning circle when mouse hovers over window). This window cannot be minimized without crashing python. However I can plt.close() the window from the console. This does not affect matplotlib when imported and called in a .py script
I have figured that downgrading matplotlib to <3.9.0 could recover figures in the pycharm console however I wondered if there is something that I am missing in pycharm when using matplotlib 3.9.0 or if this should be raised with pycharm?
Thanks for any pointers
