Double-click to reset uses previous x range, not new one

[seansfkelley]

When using Plotly.react to update a chart and change the X range, something seems to retain a reference to the old X range, because double-clicking to reset the range respects the old range, not the new.

Repro

1. Double click the chart.

Actual

Chart zooms to [ 0, 2 ].

Expected

Chart zooms to [ -1, 3 ].

Other

For some reason, this only happens if data is present in newPlot. If you comment that line out, resetting doesn't work at all (unrelated bug?).

i thought that was a "feature" lol. I thought it was nice to revert back to the original range.

This looks like a duplicate of #2718

[seansfkelley]

It's certainly at least related, though I'm not clear if it's a duplicate.

In #2718, the repro has different behaviors when you click the "reset axes" button versus double-clicking the X axis versus double-clicking the main plot area. I purposely didn't put any data in my example to keep the repo minimal, but perhaps it would be the same if I did?

That said, I'm using plotly through react-plotly, so I don't have the option to switch from react to newPlot or relayout as appears to be suggested in that ticket.

Thanks for the detailed report @seansfkelley

From a plotly.js dev's perspective this ticket and #2718 are two manifestations of the same "less-than-ideal" behavior in plotly.js and bugging behavior in react-plotly.js.
