Description
Example code:
library(ggplot2)
b <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg))
df <- data.frame(x1 = c(2.62, 2.62), x2 = c(3.57,2.62), y1 = c(21,21), y2 = c(21, 16))
b + geom_segment(aes(x = x1, y = y1, xend = x2, yend = y2, colour = "segment"), data = df, size = 2, lineend = "square")
library(plotly)
ggplotly()
Here is how the corner looks in ggplots2:
And in ggplotly:
Notice the "notch" in the corner...

Research direction
Start by running the supplied R example with ggplot2 and plotly, then compare the square line end and corner rendering in ggplot2 with ggplotly. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means geom_segment with lineend = "square" renders without the reported notch and matches the reference appearance.
