Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported boxplot with boxmode='group' and xaxis type='log' using the issue's snippet, then review the related plotly.js pull request #4283. Trace how grouped boxplot gaps are calculated on logarithmic axes. Done means the gap remains visually consistent as x values increase, with regression coverage for the reported case.
