Description
Reproducible example: https://codepen.io/tcummin2/pen/oNYdxqO?editors=0010
Console errors are thrown when you hover over the 2nd point because plotly is trying to call string.replace on an array instead of a string.

Research direction

Trace the hovertemplate handling that attempts to call string.replace on an array; done means the example no longer throws a console error for an empty-string array entry.
