show/hide legend items does not work for stacked area chart

[Beth106]

The standard show/hide lines when you click/double click on legend items breaks under certain circumstances for stacked charts.

• Go to https://codepen.io/plotly/pen/QEZvWJ
• Add property "stackgroup: 'one'" to each line (I also added an extra trace)
• Result:
• (Alternatively see https://codepen.io/sargonpiraev/pen/jOVzJYe)

Bug replication:

• Double click a legend item to isolate that line
• Single click the same legend item to hide all lines
• Double click any legend item to reshow all lines

Expected and actual result

• Expected: Same image as we started with above
• Actual Result:

Bug replication

It gets even worse if you then:

• Single click the original legend item to hide it
• Single click the original legend item to show it again

Expected and actual result

• Expected: Same image as we started with above
• Actual Result

@Beth106 did you ever figure out how to deal with this?

@gvwilson any update on this? saw you picked it up 2 weeks ago

Hi @Kieran-Lynn - I'm now managing the Libraries team at Plotly, so I've assigned this to myself for triage and assignment, but realistically it will be months before it gets to the top of our list - we have a lot of old issues to wade through :-(

No I never fixed it, I ended up just turning off the show/hide functionality for my stacked charts so it didn't confuse anyone. Would definitely be useful to get a fix as high priority.
