Hil all, I think there is a possible bug or an anomally behaviour using stacked bar chart.
Following the example from here https://plotly.com/python/bar-charts/#stacked-bar-chart
if you change an str from the list animals and use a number string (for example β2β ) plotly will fail.
It was tested in 4.5.0 and 4.8.1 with the same results
import plotly.graph_objects as go
# here I replaced 'orangutans' with '2'
animals=['giraffes', '2', 'monkeys']
fig = go.Figure(data=[
go.Bar(name='SF Zoo', x=animals, y=[20, 14, 23]),
go.Bar(name='LA Zoo', x=animals, y=[12, 18, 29])
])
# Change the bar mode
fig.update_layout(barmode='stack')
fig.show()
