Description
The first two markers should be small, the next two large. Instead, the first and third are small, and the second and fourth are large:
plot_ly(type = "scatter", mode = "markers", x = 1:4, y = 1:4, marker = list(size = c(5, 5, 10, 10)), color = c("1", "2", "1", "2"))
Grouping on a numeric variable makes the bug disappear:
plot_ly(type = "scatter", mode = "markers", x = 1:4, y = 1:4, marker = list(size = c(5, 5, 10, 10)), color = c(1, 2, 1, 2))
I am running R 3.6.3 on RHEL 7.6 with plotly 4.9.2.1

No source file or test is named. Start by running both plot_ly examples in the issue and trace how character versus numeric color grouping is converted into marker data; done when size values stay aligned with their original observations in both cases and regression coverage is added.
