Bug report

A memory leak occurs during every frame draw when PySide2 is used with Python3. This issue was already fixed for PySide in the methodmatplotlib.backends.backend_qt5agg.FigureCanvasQtAgg.paintEvent
However, an additional check forQT_API == 'PySide2' is needed.

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlibmatplotlib.use('Qt5Agg')importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltplt.plot([1,2],[1,2])plt.show()

Actual outcome

When a redraw of the figurecanvas is forced, the program memory increases steadily. For example during resizing the popup window.

Expected outcome

Constant memory during ui execution.
