Description

The hover text / tooltip is not being displayed:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
library(sf)

nc <- st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf")) %>% 
         dplyr::mutate('BIR74_intervals'=cut(BIR74,breaks=6,dig.lab=5))

map <- ggplot() + geom_sf(data=nc,
  aes(fill=BIR74_intervals, text=paste0("Name: ", NAME, "\n",BIR79)))

map %>% ggplotly(tooltip=c("text")) %>% style(hoveron='fills') 

However, if %>% style(hoveron='fills') is removed, then the tooltip appears.

Moreover, if text is set to just text=paste0("Name: ", NAME), the tooltip is displayed but in a wrong way.

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by running the provided sf, ggplot2, and plotly reproduction and compare the tooltip with and without style(hoveron='fills'). Trace the ggplotly() output and hoveron handling; done means the text tooltip displays correctly for the sf map when hoveron='fills' is applied.
