Bug summary
If I run the Textbox example script (https://matplotlib.org/gallery/widgets/textbox.html) with v2.1.0 (or the current master or v2.1.x branch), the plotting window opens ok. When I click on the Textbox widget, a RuntimeError is raised. (Cannot get window extent w/o renderer)
(Apologies if this has been reported before, I couldn't find anything when searching for it)
Code for reproduction
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.widgets import TextBox
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)
t = np.arange(-2.0, 2.0, 0.001)
s = t ** 2
initial_text = "t ** 2"
l, = plt.plot(t, s, lw=2)
def submit(text):
ydata = eval(text)
l.set_ydata(ydata)
ax.set_ylim(np.min(ydata), np.max(ydata))
plt.draw()
axbox = plt.axes([0.1, 0.05, 0.8, 0.075])
text_box = TextBox(axbox, 'Evaluate', initial=initial_text)
text_box.on_submit(submit)
plt.show()Actual outcome

Expected outcome
The textbox should become active and allow me to edit the text
