There are few possible reasons this might have happened in your case,
- Sometimes you might have initialized or created an object for the figure at the position where the phantom plot appears and. I assume due to certain initial conditions of your program during the first loop till your breakpoint, the phantom plot doesn’t appear when you run till the breakpoint. Check if you have initialized the figure and visualized it before updating the figure.
- In case you are using a loop, with the figure functions, run the loop with the breakpoint continuously and check if you are getting the phantom plot at some point which will help you rectify the problem.
In case, if the workarounds are not solving your problem, kindly post the script where you are facing this issue, which would be easier to reproduce the issue on our side and let you know the solution
