Plotly legend marker size clips to a max value

Hi all,

I’m trying to do scatterplot with marker of different sizes. I want the legend marker to scale with the marker size, but the scaling stops as the size reaches a certain threshold.

See this example (code below) you see that even though I tried to increase the spacing between legend items and increased the fontsize the orange marker remains small:

newplot
newplot700×450 16.6 KB

Is it possible to have the size of the marker in the legend match the size of the marker, removing the max allowed size?

PS: I come up with this problem while trying to make a legend for a bubble chart where I want to show in the legend the meaning of different sizes (regardless of color). From my understanding, the only solution is adding dummy traces with [None] as x and y in order to setup the legend items. But unfortunately I am not able to show sizes above a certain threshold as shown in the example.

Code example:

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    mode='markers',
    marker={'size':10},
    legendgroup='one',
))

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    y=[5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
    mode='markers',
    marker={'size':100},
    legendgroup='two',
))

fig.update_layout(legend= {'itemsizing': 'trace', 'tracegroupgap': 100, 'font_size': 40 })

fig.show()

Sorry, for bumping this up. Can anyone comment on this issue, if it is a known problem, if I need to open an issue on GitHub, or on any possible workaround.

Thanks.
