Zoom all facets at the same time

There seems to be a discrepancy between plotly for R and for python in how it handles zooming across facets.

To take my examples directly from the documentation: https://plotly.com/ggplot2/facet-plots/ vs https://plotly.com/python/facet-plots/

In the python version, if I select a region to zoom in on, the same zoom is applied to all facets, regardless of position.

In the r version, if I zoom on one facet, the 'x' zoom is applied to facets in the same column, and the 'y' zoom is applied to facets in the same row - but other facets are unaffected.

I would like to replicate the python behaviour in r. Any clues for how to do this?

Reprex: Compare zoom behaviour between R and python

library(reshape2)
library(plotly)

p <- ggplot(tips, aes(x=total_bill)) + geom_histogram(binwidth=2,colour="white")

# Histogram of total_bill, divided by sex and smoker
p <- p + facet_grid(sex ~ smoker)

ggplotly(p)

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.gapminder()
fig = px.scatter(df, x='gdpPercap', y='lifeExp', color='continent', size='pop',
                facet_col='year', facet_col_wrap=4)
fig.show()

Start by running the R reprex from the issue and comparing its facet zoom behavior with the linked Python facet example. The issue names no repository files or tests; done means selecting a region in one facet applies the same x and y zoom to every facet.
