Plotly misrenders legend on a ggplot2 filled bar chart

I am having some issues with ggplotly not rendering legends correctly on certain types of plots. If I create a filled bar chart with ggplot with more than one fill value, the legend works fine. If I create a chart with just a single fill value, the legend does not display correctly.

A correct plot can be generated with the following code:

a=data.frame(data=rep(1:5,4),cat=rep(c("a","b","c","d"),5))
qplot(data=a, data, fill=cat)
ggplotly()

The error can be reproduced as follows:

a=data.frame(data=rep(1:5,4),cat=rep("a",20))
qplot(data=a, data, fill=cat, binwidth = .5)
ggplotly()

Note that ggplot renders the chart correctly.

ggplotly however generates this:

Note that the plot renders the same way to the RStudio viewer and an external browser.

I am running plotly version 3.4.13 and R version 3.2.4. sessionInfo():

P.S. Is the the right place to put this bug report, or should I enter an issue on github?

Tom

This for now is a known bug i believe.

Ok, thanks for the update. Do you happen to know the bug id on github? I’d like to be able to track the progress.

Thanks.
