Description
If I create a boxplot in ggplot2 and convert it using ggplotly command, the outliers are outlined in black.
Here is a simple example:
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- ggplot(mpg, aes(class, hwy))
g <- p + geom_boxplot(aes(colour = "red"))
ggplotly(g)
ggplot would show this chart:
whereas plotly would show this chart:
Is this something that can be fixed?

Research direction
Reproduce the supplied R example using ggplot2, geom_boxplot, and ggplotly, then inspect how ggplotly handles the boxplot colour aesthetic and outlier styling. Done means the converted plot no longer outlines outliers in black when the boxplot colour is set to red, while preserving the reported example behavior.
