Bug summary
When the screen capture shortcut (Shift+Control+Command+4) is used to record a MPL window, an exception occurs in backend_wx.py.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WxAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fruits = ['apple', 'blueberry', 'cherry', 'orange']
counts = [40, 100, 30, 55]
bar_labels = ['red', 'blue', '_red', 'orange']
bar_colors = ['tab:red', 'tab:blue', 'tab:red', 'tab:orange']
ax.bar(fruits, counts, label=bar_labels, color=bar_colors)
ax.set_ylabel('fruit supply')
ax.set_title('Fruit supply by kind and color')
ax.legend(title='Fruit color')
plt.show()
# run the above code (or anything else with WxAgg selected) in pythonw and
# then with the MPL window active, press Shift+Control at the same timeActual outcome
