Research direction
Start by reproducing the blank, unresponsive TkAgg figure in the VS Code debugger using Python 3.9.5, Matplotlib 3.9.1–3.9.2, and VS Code 1.92.1. Compare the debugger behavior and reported backend with normal script execution, and review the linked Matplotlib issue; done when the cause of the backend discrepancy and debugger-specific plotting behavior is identified.

Description
Hey, I am having an issue plotting stuff in the debugger.
When I import matplotlib and print the backend, the output is 'tkagg'.
When I try to plot something, I will get an unresponsive blank figure (unless i call pause which will make desired plot appear but albeit remain unresponsive). When I set backend to 'TkAgg', it works as expected.
When I run the script normally not in the debugger, everything works fine and the plot appears.
What is weird is that my colleague has the same versions of python matplotlib and vs code yet by default has a backend of 'TkAgg'.
I am not sure what's causing this discrepancy in default backend between the two of us. In any case, according to matplotlib documentation and the linked issue, tkagg and TkAgg should be equivalent.
