Plots such as `mne.viz.plot_events`, `ica.plot_components` are not getting stopped in Jupyter notebook even after closing the plots in GUI. To stop it, I always have to forcefully stop by pressing ‘Interrupt the Kernal’ in the Jupyter Notebook.

I am using mne 1.2.3 with python 3.8.15. Is there any workaround?

Thank you in advance.

Can you please post the output of

```python
import mne
mne.sys_info()

```

Thanks!
