Description
Hi,
Legend names are sometimes not passed when using frame option.
#This is working (without frame)
plot_ly()%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4)%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4,name="New name")
#This is not (with frame)
plot_ly()%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4,frame=c(1,1,2))%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4,frame=c(1,2,2),name="New name")
#This is working (with frame) !
#This works apparently because frame 1 is repeated twice (frame=c(1,1,2) is okay but frame=c(1,2,3) is not)
plot_ly()%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4,frame=c(1,1,2))%>%add_markers(1:3,2:4,frame=c(1,1,2),name="New name")
[Package plotly version 4.10.4]

Research direction
Reproduce the three plot_ly() examples from the issue with plotly R version 4.10.4, comparing legend names when frame values repeat versus when they differ. Trace the frame animation handling to identify where the second trace's name is lost; done means the named legend entry is preserved for distinct frames without breaking the working cases.
