Highlight width of contour on surface plot has no effect

I have a surface plot and I am trying to change the width of the highlighted contour on hover. It is possible that the highlightwidth variable that I’m modifying does not do what I think it does or that I am modifying it incorrectly, but changing highlightcolor works as anticipated. I have attached screenshots when highlightwidth=2 and highlightwidth=16 at the bottom but they appear identical. I couldn’t find another topic that covered this or a bug that mentioned this, but I apologize if I have overlooked something.

In case my language above is wrong, I would like to modify the thickness of the white contour lines (on hover) on the surface in the images below.

Here is a somewhat MWE, taken from plotly’s surface page.

import plotly
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# Read data from a csv
z_data = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/api_docs/mt_bruno_elevation.csv')
z = z_data.values
sh_0, sh_1 = z.shape
contours = dict(
        x=dict(
                show=False,
                highlight=True,
                highlightcolor='white',
                highlightwidth=2, %%%% Modify here
                usecolormap=False,
                project=dict(
                        x=False,
                        y=False,
                        z=False)))
x, y = np.linspace(0, 1, sh_0), np.linspace(0, 1, sh_1)
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Surface(z=z, x=x, y=y,contours=contours)])
fig.update_layout(title='Mt Bruno Elevation. Width of 2', autosize=False,
                  width=500, height=500,
                  margin=dict(l=65, r=50, b=65, t=90))
fig.show()

The above code produces this:

When I modify highlightwidth=16, the code produces this:
