..probably somehow related to this issue: using scatterGL, the default dragmode is set to 'zoom', hence plotly_click events are fired, everything works fine, then I change dragmode to lasso by clicking the lasso icon in the toolbar, dragmode changes to 'lasso', everythings works as expected, plotly_selected is fired instead of 'plotly_click'. However, I would expect to untoggle the lasso mode by again clicking the lasso toolbar icon but it doesn't. In fact, checking the gl2d code it looks like there is no difference between toggling the incon on or off. Would be nice, if untoggling the lasso icon would set the dragmode back to default. Do you agree or am I missing something?
