Description

while using 'orthographic' mode(fig['layout']['scene']['camera']['projection']['type']), uirevision set to 'foo' in order to keep the last figure camera settings, does not work.
meaning that while orthographic is set, you cannot retain figure user camera changes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a Plotly graph using layout.scene.camera.projection.type set to orthographic and uirevision set to "foo". Check how camera changes are retained across figure updates; done means user camera settings persist in orthographic mode, as they do in the comparable perspective mode.
