Description
I couldn't find this issue here - copying it accordingly:
This issue arises when I have animated frames and the ids do not exist for all frames (particularly the first one). Here is a reproducible example:
dat = data.frame(f = rep(1:4, each = 10),
x = rep(1:5, 2*4),
y = rep(c(rep(1, 5), rep(2, 5)), 4),
id = rep(rep(LETTERS[1:2], each = 5), 4))
dat = dat[dat$id == "B" | dat$id == "A" & dat$f == 3,]
plot_ly(x = ~ x,
y = ~ y,colors = c("#FF0000","#0000FF")) %>%
add_lines(
data = group_by(dat, id, f),
frame = ~ f,
key = ~ id,
ids = ~ id,
color = ~ id)
Notice in frame 3 that the line at y = 2 disappears. I also get a warning:
Warning message:
In p$x$data[firstFrame] <- p$x$frames[[1]]$data :
number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length

Research direction
Start by running the reproducible R example in the issue and inspect how animated frames, ids, and the first frame are assembled. Done means the line at y = 2 remains visible in frame 3 and the replacement-length warning no longer appears.
