Click event doesn't fire after drawing a shape using mode bar

Dash Python
1

I’m having this problem which I’ve not found an answer yet. My app handle click event fine if there’s no user drawing on the figure. As soon as I draw any shape, that event wouldn’t fire anymore. Erasing all shapes doesn’t help.

How can I work around this?

Hi @uzimaster could you create a minimal running example for us to check?

Sorry, while creating the example, I figured this out by myself. It seems that Plotly only fire click event when the current tool is Zoom or Pan. I selected a shape tool to draw but then forgot to select back Zoom or Pan. That’s why the click event wouldn’t fire.

Anyway, here is the link for the example: GitHub - tariusagi/plotly-dash-lab: A repo for experimenting with Plotly and Dash. Run “python click-test.py”

Hmm,

I think this is actually adjustable, but not entirely sure.

There is a setting where you can pass click+event.

Thanks. I will try that.
