Description

If we use the example with subplots: Stacked Subplots with a Shared X-Axis -> click
Then we enable range slider and add few updates with Plotly.react() after 3s. Codepen example with the issue -> click

As you can see in the example plots are not updated in the range slider. Old plots stay in place and only sometimes gets updated (like in the end with only one subplot). Possible bug?

Research direction

Start with the linked CodePen and the “Stacked Subplots with a Shared X-Axis” example, then reproduce the behavior after the Plotly.react() updates run. Trace the range-slider and subplot update path; done means all plots in the range slider reflect each update consistently.
