Hover text not shown when `color` and `colors` are supplied

Plotly R, MATLAB, Julia, Net Plotly R

Consider the following data:

> data_graph_1
# A tibble: 3 × 4
  trust_pm3cat yes_no_share yes_share no_share
        <fctr>        <dbl>     <dbl>    <dbl>
1         tief     -0.76581   0.11710 0.882904
2       mittel      0.12500   0.56250 0.437500
3         hoch      0.85593   0.92797 0.072034

When I create a plotly chart with the following code, the hover text doesn’t appear. I’ve uploaded the chart here.

data_graph_1 %>%
    plot_ly(x = ~trust_pm3cat,
            y = ~yes_no_share,
            text = paste0("Anteil Ja-/Nein-Stimmen: ", round(data_graph_1$yes_no_share, digits = 2),
                          "<br><br>Ja-Stimmenanteil: ", round(data_graph_1$yes_share * 100, digits = 2), " %",
                          "<br>Nein-Stimmenanteil: ", round(data_graph_1$no_share * 100, digits = 2), " %"),
            hoverinfo = "x+text",
            color = ~trust_pm3cat,
            colors = c("#EDD02E", "#CCCCCC", "#44187C"),
            opacity = 0.8) %>%
    add_bars() %>%
    layout(title = "<b>Ja-/Nein-Stimmenanteil</b><br>je nach Vertrauen in Ministerpräsident Renzi",
           xaxis = list(title = "Vertrauen in Ministerpräsident Matteo Renzi",
                        fixedrange = TRUE,
                        zeroline = FALSE),
           yaxis = list(title = "Anteil Ja-/Nein-Stimmen<br>von -1 (100&nbsp;% Nein-Stimmen) bis 1 (100&nbsp;% Ja-Stimmen)<br>&nbsp;",
                        fixedrange = TRUE),
           font = list(family = "Work Sans"),
           legend = list(traceorder = "normal",
                         orientation = "v"),
           margin = list(l = 80,
                         r = 0,
                         t = 60,
                         b = 60,
                         pad = 0,
                         autoexpand = TRUE)) %>%
    hide_legend() %>%
    config(displaylogo = FALSE,
           showLink = FALSE,
           displayModeBar = FALSE)

But if I instead define the colors in marker = list(color = ...) everything works fine. I’ve also uploaded this chart here.

data_graph_1 %>%
    plot_ly(x = ~trust_pm3cat,
            y = ~yes_no_share,
            text = paste0("Anteil Ja-/Nein-Stimmen: ", round(data_graph_1$yes_no_share, digits = 2),
                          "<br><br>Ja-Stimmenanteil: ", round(data_graph_1$yes_share * 100, digits = 2), " %",
                          "<br>Nein-Stimmenanteil: ", round(data_graph_1$no_share * 100, digits = 2), " %"),
            hoverinfo = "x+text",
            marker = list(color = c("#EDD02E", "#CCCCCC", "#44187C")),
            opacity = 0.8) %>%
    add_bars() %>%
    layout(title = "<b>Ja-/Nein-Stimmenanteil</b><br>je nach Vertrauen in Ministerpräsident Renzi",
           xaxis = list(title = "Vertrauen in Ministerpräsident Matteo Renzi",
                        fixedrange = TRUE,
                        zeroline = FALSE),
           yaxis = list(title = "Anteil Ja-/Nein-Stimmen<br>von -1 (100&nbsp;% Nein-Stimmen) bis 1 (100&nbsp;% Ja-Stimmen)<br>&nbsp;",
                        fixedrange = TRUE),
           font = list(family = "Work Sans"),
           legend = list(traceorder = "normal",
                         orientation = "v"),
           margin = list(l = 80,
                         r = 0,
                         t = 60,
                         b = 60,
                         pad = 0,
                         autoexpand = TRUE)) %>%
    hide_legend() %>%
    config(displaylogo = FALSE,
           showLink = FALSE,
           displayModeBar = FALSE)

Why doesn’t the hover text appear in the first case? Is this a bug? If a bug, is it already known to the devs? Otherwise I’d be happy to file an issue over at Github, just let me know!

I’m using plotly 4.5.6 in combination with R 3.3.2.
