Hello.
Thank you for the great library.
I have been following the tutorials namely: https://plot.ly/python/selection-events/. The selection from the drop-down menus work file. However, the selection with the mouse on the canvas as shown in the animated gif shown on that URL does nothing on my computer. I have tested on Firefox 73.0.1 as well as on Chromium 80.0.3987.122 and same issue. I looked at the console (developer tools when the selection is happening and no errors). I have a new virtual virtual environment with just the following packages installed: jupyter, plotly. Here is a complete list of all the packages that got subsequently installed as a consequence of installing the latter ones:

I have also made a much simpler code snippet to test things and I can see that ‘on_click()’ does work but, not ‘on_selection()’. Here is the code:
from random import random
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.offline as py
py.init_notebook_mode()
x = [int(random() * 100) for i in range(10)]
y = [int(random() * 100) for i in range(10)]
fig = go.FigureWidget([go.Scatter(x=x, y=y, mode="markers")])
sca = fig.data[0]
def click_handler(trace, points, selector):
print("clicked something")
def selection_handler(trace, points, selector):
print("selected something")
sca.on_click(click_handler)
sca.on_selection(selection_handler)
fig
And finally here is an animated gif illustrating the problem with the console also open. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and how to go about to fix the problem?
