What happens when you create plots in JupyterLab with the Qt backend?

Running the above commands using JupyterLab produces the same results as QtConsole, an anonymous application icon.

Ok, that means this is not a problem that can be solved here. It should probably be solved in IPykernel, but I don't know what kind of magic Matplotlib is doing to display that icon in the terminal version of IPython.

So, I suggest you to open an issue about this in Matplotlib so they can better inform you where this should be addressed and maybe how. You can ping me if you want because once it's known what they are doing in IPython terminal, it shouldn't be that hard to port that to the required project in the Jupyter architecture.
