plotly
Unable to hover in selection areas
Environment: Windows, plotly 6.0.0
Minimum Example:
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent=='Oceania'")
fig = px.line(df, x="year", y="lifeExp", color="country", title="layout.hovermode='closest' (the default)")
fig.update_traces(mode="markers+lines")
fig.show()
Behavior: When using selection tools in Plotly (e.g. box select, lasso select), it's not possible to hover over data points inside the selection area. The cursor changes to a "move" cursor and only allows repositioning the selection. Outside the selection area, hovering works normally.
Image 1: Inside the box selection, only the move cursor is visible and hovering is not possible
Image 2: Outside the selection area, hovering works correctly and displays data point information
Suggestion: A potential improvement would be limiting the move cursor functionality to only the edges of the selection area, allowing users to continue hovering over data points inside the selection.
