- MNE version: 1.5.1
- operating system: Windows 11

Every time when I use the method mne.io.Raw.plot(), it will return a instance MNEBrowseFigure, then I will move the time scrollbar to see the EEG tendency in the other time.

So here exist a problem, can I get the current time of the instance MNEBrowseFigure, so that next time I can directly use the parameter ‘start’ embedded in the method plot() to see the subsequent EEG-curve.

Thank you very much!
