Description

To reproduce:
- Go to Plotly range selector documentation
- Drag the end of the range slider towards the start, so that the range is less than 6 months
- Click on the 6m button
- The view and slider are now overly expanded, with empty space. And the bounds are set beyond their original scope.
Interesting to note, however, is that the Other official plotly example, this does not occur. Is there a different version?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Plotly time-series range selector documentation by shrinking the range below six months and clicking 6m. Compare that behavior with the official range-slider example, then identify the difference that causes the view and slider bounds to expand; done means the reproduction no longer creates empty space or moves bounds beyond the original scope.
