Description
The 'plotly_doubleclick' event fires correctly only when dragmode is set to one of 'zoom' | 'pan' | 'orbit' | 'turntable' | false.
With any other values (select, lasso, drawclosedpath, drawopenpath, drawline, drawrect, drawcircle all tested), it won't fire except if you dblclick on the axes.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior using the linked CodePen and compare plotly_doubleclick with each listed dragmode value. Start by tracing the plotly_doubleclick event handling and dragmode interaction in plotly.js. Done means the event fires consistently for select, lasso, and the listed draw modes, including double-clicks away from the axes.
