Unnecessary scroll bars on plots with ipywidgets

[ianholst]

When you use ipywidgets to interact with a matplotlib plot, it shows these black scrollbars even when there is no need to scroll:

This is due to this line of CSS, which specifies overflow: scroll on that image element:

vscode-notebook-renderers/src/client/render.tsx

Line 85 in 06da536

const divStyle: Record<string, string | number> = { overflow: 'scroll', position: 'relative' }; // `overflow:scroll` is the default style used by Jupyter lab.

This should be changed to overflow: auto. Not sure what that comment in the code about Jupyterlab means since these scrollbars do not appear in Jupyterlab.

I should add that actually these scrollbars appear on all plots (with and without ipywidgets) and images (through PIL). I don't see any reason to have overflow: scroll on all of them.
