Bug report

Bug summary

Blitting support have been added in the notebook backend, however, it is fully working, see#19633 and in particular#19633 (comment).

This breaks plotting for libraries using thesupports_blit property of the canvas to know ifblitting should be used.

Even if I am really looking forward using blitting in the notebook/ipympl backend, in 3.4.0rc, it seems that this is not ready to be fully used and it breaks plotting in the notebook of hyperspy.
Would it be make sense to havesupports_blit returnsFalse for the notebook backend until blitting is working fine?

Code for reproduction

It is difficult to provide a minimum example because of#19633 (comment) but it can be reproduce using hyperspy:

# Paste your code here%matplotlibnotebookimporthyperspy.apiashss=hs.datasets.artificial_data.get_core_loss_eels_line_scan_signal()s.plot()

Actual outcome

Similarly ss reported in by@ianhi in#19633, this will use 100% of a CPU. Also, the width of the figure is not correct and the axes disappear when changing the size of the figure:

Expected outcome

Using blitting should work as with other backend, until then, blitting should not be defined as supported for the notebook/ipympl backend.
