I would like to look into this issue.

@Chinmay922 Great! The code you are going to have to work with is in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/backend_tools.py please ask here or https://gitter.im/matplotlib/matplotlib if you have any questions.

Hello,
I hope you are doing fine. I tried to reproduce it in my (windows) machine but I think it is not reproducing. As per the issue outcome should be None but I am getting "ZOOM" (not "zoom rect").

In the issue details I can see that "Linux" OS is mentioned. Is this a linux only issue? If yes, then which version of Linux I should try it on?

I am using Python 3.8 64 bit, if that matters.

Did you switch the toolbar rcParam to toolmanager first?

Did you switch the toolbar rcParam to toolmanager first?

@QuLogic Thanks a lot. I didn't do that. Now the following code is reproducing the issue.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ion()
plt.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'toolmanager'
ax = plt.gca()
# trigger the zoom tool in the generated plot
print(ax.get_navigate_mode())
