Description

When we double click on a legend item to isolate it, the geom_hline and geom_vline lines are also hidden. They behave as legend items.

Research direction

Start by running the supplied R reproduction with ggplot2, plotly, and ggplotly, then inspect how legend double-click isolation affects the geom_hline and geom_vline layers. Done means those reference lines remain visible when a legend item is isolated, while the plotted data still responds to the legend interaction.
