Bug report

Bug summary

Python 2.7.14
Mac OS X El Capitan, v10.11.6
Matplotlib v2.2.2 (same for v2.0.0)

I was trying to reproduce the rotating 3D plot from this example:
https://matplotlib.org/examples/mplot3d/rotate_axes3d_demo.html
(also copied below)

However, the plot displayed the initial view, got stuck, and then finished without any errors. I later found that if I use another computer with an old matplotlib version (v1.5.3), the code runs correctly. I used pip to install different versions of matplotlib.

Code for reproduction

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

# load some test data for demonstration and plot a wireframe
X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.1)
ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride=5, cstride=5)

# rotate the axes and update
for angle in range(0, 360):
    ax.view_init(30, angle)
    plt.draw()
    plt.pause(.001)
