The issue happens only when there is a scroll bar. (The preview area in CodePen can be stretched to control the appearance of the scroll bar.)

It's interesting that by setting the height in layout or CSS, the issue is gone.

Research direction

Trace the affected outer and inner div rendering in the Plotly.js frontend and confirm the fix by verifying that the outer border remains intact when scrolling is present.
