Plotting in VSCode has suddenly stopped working, I do not really know why. If I try:  
using Plots  
plot(x-\>x)  
The plotting pane shows up (and shows the right figure number), but is empty:

I have tried restarting Julia and VSCode, running both from the console and within a script. Opening a normal julai REPL in a terminal and running solves it.

Solved by restarting the computer.
