Research direction
Start with the PolygonSelector example linked in the Matplotlib documentation and reproduce it with ipympl in JupyterLab 3.4.2. Compare the working Qt backend with the notebook behavior, including the attempted useblit=False setting. Done means the gray cursor point and polygon drawing respond to mouse interaction in the notebook.

Description
Describe the issue
The PolygonSelector example from the mpl docs works very well in the default Qt backend.
However, using ipympl in a notebook, nothing happens. No gray point follows the mouse cursor, nothing is drawn when I click. Just the initial figure with the blue dots.
I checked the jupyterlab log console on debug level but there are no errors.
I was wondering if it was related to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/15852, and tried adding useblit=False where the PolygonSelector is created, but this did not help.
