I have personally seen significant progress in this area, but there are a
few backends that aren't quite right (MacOSX backend, I believe?). Anyway,
some effort was made right before the 1.0.0 release, but it was soon
discovered that it was still not right (and even caused some regressions, I
believe). So, shortly there-after, a lot of work went into making the
behavior more uniform across all backends.
If the show() behavior is currently not working properly for you, I would
suggest building from source (if possible) the maintenance v1.0.0 branch
which has it mostly right (I believe the only exception is the macosx
backend). If that isn't possible, there have been talks of soon releasing a
v1.0.1 package which would contain all of those fixes.
Note, I am not an authority in this matter as I was only just joining the
development group at around that time, but I hope this answers your
question.
