Description
After updating plotly, I find that the selection layer will display after dragging in the layout.
Is there any way to hide the selection layer?
The drag mode of layout is set as "select".
{
dragmode: "select"
}
- version 2.12.11

- version 1.54.20

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in plotly.js 2.12.11 using a layout with dragmode set to "select", then compare it with version 1.54.20. Trace the selection-layer behavior from that reproduction; done means the selection layer can be hidden while selection mode continues to work.
