Description
When using ggplotly with a log-scale plot, the tick labels will be the exponent, not the actual value.
df = data.frame(x=10^(1:10), y = 10^(1:10))
plot = ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_line() + scale_x_log10() + scale_y_log10()
plot
ggplotly(plot, dynamicTicks=T)

Research direction
Start by running the provided R example with ggplotly(plot, dynamicTicks=T) and compare its log-scale tick labels with the static ggplot output. Trace how dynamicTicks handles scale_*_log10() values, then verify that the interactive chart displays actual values rather than exponents.
