Hello,

I'm running Wing IDE Pro on Windows machine and trying to debug remotely on the Linux machine (Ubuntu 21.04).

I've set up a remote debugging environment using ssh with X11 forwarding. Debugging works well but I cannot see any plots (matplotlib, seaborn, etc.), which I suspect X11 forwarding is not working. However, there's no error message so I'm stuck on how I should proceed. I'm running Xming server on the Windows machine.

For example, if run this minimal code in Debug Console (in debug mode):

mode):
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2])
plt.show()

it returns the following:

[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x7f9f4fdacb80>]

but no plot windows are visible to me.

To compare, I installed a Wing IDE package on the Linux machine and when I remote execute Wing IDE using ssh (Bitvise), I can see the plots correctly. This means my X server is running correctly and my ssh agent is capable of forwarding X11 packets.

So it seems when I do the remote debugging from within my local machine's Wing IDE, X11 packets are not forwarded. FYI, here's my ssh client config file:

file:
Host testserver
    HostName 10.0.0.1
    User tester
    IdentityFile C:\Users\tester\.ssh\tester-key
C:\Users\tester.ssh\leeq-key
    ForwardX11 yes
    ForwardX11Trusted yes

What am I missing here?
