[BUG] Showing multiple imvizes in one cell freezes all the image viewers

[eteq]

Jdaviz component

Imviz

Description

Am seeing some strange behavior when I create multiple Imviz instances and try to show them in the same cell. For example,

imvizes = []
for data in something:
    imviz = Imviz()
    imviz.load_data(...)
    imvizes.append(imviz)

for imviz in imvizes:
    imviz.show('...')

At least for me, when I do this, the imvizes all get shown, but they all have the same image showing in them even if I have separate data loaded, and when I pan/zoom around, the images don't update. Basically it seems like the js UI is disconnected from the kernel or something.

By contrast, if I instead do:

Cell[1]
i = iter(imvizes)
Cell[2]
next(i).show('sidecar')

and execute Cell 2 repeatedly until the iterator ends... it works fine! Similarly, if I do something like:

Cell[1]
imvizes[0].show('inline')
Cell[2]
imvizes[1].show('inline')

they both show up in their respective cells just fone.

How to Reproduce

1. Install jdaviz
2. Create at least two Imviz objects and load data into them
3. Do something like this in the same cell:

for imviz in imvizes:
    imviz.show('...')

4. Try to interact with the imviz that gets shown

Expected behavior

The separate calls to show should yield functional imviz instances.

Actually one clarification: what I described does not work in sidecar mode even if I run them in spearate cells. It does work in "inline" mode though!

[eteq]

Also it works in "popout" as described in the original report, although instead of showing broken viewers, solara doesn't even start at all in the for-loop, which it all works perfectly if I do the each-cell-on-its-own way.
