Bug: ggplotly with no open plots crashes R (from Rgui)

Example:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- qplot(mpg, data=mtcars, geom="density", fill=gear, alpha=I(.5), 
   main="Distribution of Gas Milage", xlab="Miles Per Gallon", 
   ylab="Density")
ggplotly(p) # crashes R when used in RGui

The following would make gui not crash:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- qplot(mpg, data=mtcars, geom="density", fill=gear, alpha=I(.5), 
   main="Distribution of Gas Milage", xlab="Miles Per Gallon", 
   ylab="Density")
dev.new()
ggplotly(p) # crashes R when used in RGui

My session: (I'm using the latest ggplot2 and plotly)

まず、Windows の RGui で提供された qplot と ggplotly の例を再現し、その後、dev.new() の実行後に同じ例と比較します。ggplotly によるグラフィックスデバイスの処理を追跡し、プロットが開かれていない場合でも R がクラッシュしなくなり、例が引き続き描画されることを確認して修正を検証します。
