Bug summary

Under version 3.8.0 the plot window does not appear when using MacOSX as the backend (default under Mac OS). This is not an issues with the previous 3.7.3 version or when backend is set to TkAgg.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

from matplotlib import cm

# matplotlib.use(backend="TkAgg")

plt.style.use("_mpl-gallery")

# Make data
X = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.25)
Y = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.25)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(X, Y)
R = np.sqrt(X**2 + Y**2)
Z = np.sin(R)

# Plot the surface
fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={"projection": "3d"})
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, vmin=Z.min() * 2, cmap=cm.Blues)

ax.set(xticklabels=[], yticklabels=[], zticklabels=[])

plt.show(block=False)

input("Hit [return] to end")
plt.close("all")

Actual outcome

No plot is generated.

Expected outcome

Figure_1

Additional information

If the code line

matplotlib.use(backend="TkAgg")

is uncommented the code will work as expected.
