Bug summary

This is one simple way to get the wx backend to hang. (Qt does not hang for reference.) Not very common use case, but may indicate some other issue?

Code for reproduction

In an ipython shell (probably similar elsewhere)

%matplotlib wx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.gcf()

Click zoom button (does not toggle)

plt.gca()

Actual outcome

It hangs.

Expected outcome

It should ideally not hang.
