AssertionError on matplotlib interactive mode

[hs-vc]

When attempting to zoom into any area of a plot created using the matplotlib library in Jupyter Notebook with interactive mode enabled, an Assertion Error message is generated in the ~/.jupyter/log. Consequently, the zoom functionality does not work correctly.

Following is reproducible jupyter notebook code.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%matplotlib nbagg

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3])

# And then zoom any areay

Below is error message in ~/.jupyter/log created every time zooming any area in the plot.

I tested with
Python: 3.10.10
notebook: 6.5.4
matplotlib: 3.7.1
tornado: 6.2
pyzmq: 25.0.2
jupyter_client: 8.2.0

I seems that this issue is specifically related to jupyter_client v8.2.0. The error does not occur with jupyter_client versions 7.x while other versions remain unchanged.

By interactive you mean the Notebook backend or the Qt, Tk, etc ones?
