Wrong fullData passed `plotly_click` listeners after zoom

[n-riesco]

The object plotlyEvent passed to a listener to plotly_click events contains amongst other the properties:

• plotlyEvent.points[0].data = trace before transforms
• plotlyEvent.points[0].fullData = trace after transforms

This codepen shows a chart with a sort transform that reorders the circles from A, B, C to B, C, A. It also defines a plotly_click listener that outputs the order in data and fullData.

The screencast below shows how before zooming the order in fullData is B, C, A but after zooming the order changes to A, B, C.

plotlyEvent.points[0].data = trace before transforms
plotlyEvent.points[0].fullData = trace after transforms

That's the intended behavior - at least to my eyes. Can you elaborate on why this is a big deal for the spotlight plugin?

Before the zoom, when I click I get:

plotlyEvent.points[0].data.text = ['B', 'C', 'A']
plotlyEvent.points[0].fullData.text = ['A', 'B', 'C']

This is expected because of the sort transform.

The next time I click (after zooming) I get:

plotlyEvent.points[0].data.text = ['A', 'B', 'C']
plotlyEvent.points[0].fullData.text = ['A', 'B', 'C']

The issue is that plotlyEvent.points[0].data.text isn't sorted any longer.

Ah I see. Thanks for pointing this out @n-riesco !

It won't be pretty, but I'll figure something out.
