Scroll events not detected in Jupyter-Lab

[banesullivan]

In normal Jupyter notebooks using the %matplotlib notebook magic command, scroll events are detected. In Jupyter-Lab with the %matplotlib widget magic command scroll events are not detected.

Is there a way to fix this?

I can post screen captures if needed.

I have the same issue. Scroll and zoom buttons are not functional.

I had a similar problem and I found that I needed to import matplotlib before %matplotlib widget. Once I did that the issue went away.

This is interestingly the opposite of #81 and is probably broken by https://github.com/matplotlib/jupyter-matplotlib/pull/94
