I have “simple” plot in ggplot and would like to wrap it with ggplotly. I specify a bar color using fill= and when I do the bar inacticivity goes away.

library(ggplot2)  
library(plotly)  
cnt \<-c(2,1)  
date \<- c(“2016-01-05 13:53:43”,“2016-01-15 09:33:40”)  
xx.df \<- data.frame(date,cnt)  
xx.df$datep \<- as.Date(xx.df$date,format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")  
xx.df$datea \<- as.character(xx.df$date,format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")  
xx.df$status \<- as.factor(c(“Success”,“Fail”))

pa \<- ggplot(xx.df,aes(x=datea,y=cnt,fill=status))  
pa \<- pa+geom\_bar(stat=“identity”)  
print(ggplotly(pa))

1. I can’t click to remove a series using the legend, both bars go away.
2. Mouse hover is not present.

When I remove fill= I get a grey plot without a legend. But the mouse hover works…

pag \<- ggplot(xx.df,aes(x=datea,y=cnt))

pag \<- pag+geom\_bar(stat=“identity”)

print(ggplotly(pag))

Is there an issue with how I used the fill=? I am using plotly 4.5.6,ggplot2 2.2.1

Thanks,
