Blank canvas, no image data #357

Description

When trying to draw anything using ipycanvas in JupyterLab, I'm getting a blank canvas displayed and no image data being stored even with sync_image_data = True. I'm not using Voila here, though the blank canvas display looks similar to #342 and I've tried the solution there.

import numpy as np
from ipycanvas import Canvas

canvas = Canvas(width=200, height=200, sync_image_data = True)

canvas.fill_rect(25, 25, 100, 100)
canvas.clear_rect(45, 45, 60, 60)
canvas.stroke_rect(50, 50, 50, 50)

canvas.get_image_data()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

      7 canvas.clear_rect(45, 45, 60, 60)
      8 canvas.stroke_rect(50, 50, 50, 50)
---> 10 canvas.get_image_data()

    435 """Return a NumPy array representing the underlying pixel data for a specified portion of the canvas.

    443 if self.image_data is None:
--> 444     raise RuntimeError(
    445         "No image data, please be sure that ``sync_image_data`` is set to True"
    446     )
    448 x = int(x)
    449 y = int(y)

RuntimeError: No image data, please be sure that ``sync_image_data`` is set to True

Versions are as follows:

Jupyterlab 4.2.0
ipycanvas 0.13.3
ipywidgets 8.1.2

Any help appreciated, and I'm happy to help get more details.
