Description
The following code does not include the text from ggtitle() in each subplot:
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
gg1 <- ggplot(data=iris) +
geom_point(aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Petal.Length)) +
ggtitle("PLot 1")
gg2 <- ggplot(data=iris) +
geom_point(aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Petal.Width)) +
ggtitle("PLot 2")
subplot(ggplotly(gg1), ggplotly(gg2), nrows=2)

Research direction
Start by running the supplied R example with ggplot2 and plotly, comparing ggplotly(gg1) and ggplotly(gg2) with the combined subplot() output. Inspect the subplot() and ggplotly() entry points to trace how ggtitle() text is handled. Done means each subplot displays its corresponding title in the combined visualization.
