[Bug] pynml-plotmorph: vispy: no mouse events

[Sietse20]

Describe the bug
When using the plot_interactive_3D function from pyneuroml.plot.PlotMorphologyVispy, the window that pops up contains a snapshot of the neuron that is not interactive. I can use the R button to rotate the 3D model, but any mouse input does not work.

To Reproduce
I used the following code to try and plot a neuroml file of choice:

from pyneuroml.plot.PlotMorphologyVispy import plot_interactive_3D
plot_interactive_3D("example.cell.nml")

Expected behavior
I expected an interactive window to pop up, in which I could use mouse movements to rotate and zoom into the 3D model of the neuron to investigate its morphology.

Observed behavior
Only the R button seemed to work in the interactive window. Any mouse movement did not result in an output.

System information:

• OS: Windows 11
• Python version: Python 3.11.9

Could you try another python version to see if that perhaps helps? Maybe python3.9 for a start?

I'll check how one can get some debugging info from pyqt bits, it's almost certainly something there that either we or vispy have missed.

I have tried python 3.9, but it still doesn't work :(

I can reproduce this on a windows 11 machine, but I haven't a clue how to debug it. There are no errors, no warnings, no output at all, so I don't even know where to start currently :(
