Bug summary

Under certain circumstances, when using matplotlib.style.context() to temporarily alter the default style in a Jupyter notebook, it resets the backend to no plot inline. This occurs if the plot is the first one in the notebook, but not if another plot (without the context manager) has already been plotted.

Code for reproduction

# CASE 1:# first cell - produces inline plot with desired gridimportmatplotlibl.pyplotasplwithplt.style.context({'axes.grid':True}):plt.plot(range(10))# second cell - does not produce in line plotplt.plot(range(10))# CASE 2:# first cell - produces inline plotimportmatplotlibl.pyplotaspltplt.plot(range(10))# second cell - produces inline plot with desired gridwithplt.style.context({'axes.grid':True}):plt.plot(range(10))# third cell - produces in line plotplt.plot(range(10))

Actual outcome

CASE 1:

CASE 2:

Expected outcome

In case 1, the second plot should be inline
