Thanks for referring me to #8582. I already updated everything but nothing worked out. Just had to downgrade my numpy version to 1.15.0. It may be useful for someone else in the future.

@lalita90 You don’t have this bug. You have #8582, which is fixed in 3.3.3. To fix it please upgrade to the latest version of Spyder by opening the Anaconda Prompt and typing:

conda update spyder
