Left clicking multiple times leads to unresponsive plot

[rpadmanabhan]

I noticed that if I click multiple times in a spot without any point it can lead to an unresponsive plot (i.e. zooming and panning has no effect). This happens when lassoInitiator is enabled. I can get control of the plot back if I shift and select some points. Is this something that could be fixed in the library ?

E.g. on the demo site :

I believe what you experience is expected as clicking in an empty area triggers the lasso initiator when lassoInitiator is set to true. You cannot pan or zoom until either the lasso initiator disappeared or you leave it by mousing outside.

The simplest solution to this is to not use the lasso initiator and instead activate lassoOnLongPress

Here's how the lasso on long press works:

I noticed that the README doesn't mention the lassoOnLongPress at all and will update it shortly.

That makes sense, thank you for that explanation.
