Description
Rendering of violin plots with box plots (to provide median & stddev) is in wrong order when using ggplotly.
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
p <- ggplot(iris,aes(Species,Sepal.Length))+
geom_violin()+geom_boxplot(width=.1)
q <- ggplotly(p)

the ggplotly (q) will render with the box plot behind the violin plot (and larger than expected):
