Description
Hi!
I'm facing the issue with text scatter that includes MathJax text. Initially it is rendered and positioned correctly, but a manual rescaling (zooming/panning) seems to be completely ignored by text labels.
Here is reproducible example: https://codepen.io/Igor-Vaiman/pen/xxBjbdr (to see the issue, you need to zoom/pan the rendered plot).

Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen reproduction and inspect the scatter trace text rendering path, focusing on labels containing MathJax. Reproduce zooming and panning, then verify that MathJax text labels follow the same scaling and repositioning as the rest of the scatter plot.
