Hello, from yesterday I can’t plot if I use the `plot(.)` command in the VSCode editor with line-by-line command. I have the hover text appearing on the right with `Plot{Plots.GRBackend() n=1}` as normal, but then the plot is not displayed, while if I plot from the VSCode terminal it works.

I have tried restarting everything (including VSCode) but I still have the problem, what can I try to solve the issue ?

Julia 1.9.0, VSCode 1.81, Julia add-on v1.50.2

I can reproduce, `display(plot(rand(10))` works.

@pfitzseb is this intended or a regression in 1.50?

Regression. Update to 1.51-prerelease for now. I’ll push that to the main release branch later today.
