Adding layers makes tooltips disappear

Hi there,

I'm experiencing the same issue as @borenstein, referenced here: Adding layer makes tool tips disappear. Someone asked @borenstein to post the issue here but I didn't see a record of it. Here's a shorter reproducible example and summary; please note their solution (comparing data on hover) doesn't work in my use case (not shown here).

I want to create a plot where users can hover over a map and a tooltip for a single layer appears, for example, showing the names of US counties, with state boundaries overlaid on the map. If your mouse is "far" from a state boundary, the tooltip appears. However, if you are "close" (e.g., southeastern edge of map), the tooltip does not appear.

I've tried identifying the traces that contain parts of my plot that I don't want to show tooltips for - as in these stack overflow posts:

• ggplotly - only return tooltip hover text on certain geom objects

• Disable hover information for a specific layer (geom) of plotly

But, it doesn't work.

library(plotly)
library(tidyverse)

### New England: *sometimes* shows tool tips
new_england <- c("maine", "new hampshire", "vermont", "massachusetts", "connecticut", "rhode island")

b <- ggplot2::map_data("state") %>%
  filter(region %in% new_england)

a <- data.frame(group = seq(3085), val = rnorm(3085)) %>%
  left_join(ggplot2::map_data("county"), by = "group") %>%
  filter(region %in% new_england)

p <- ggplot(a, aes(long, lat, group = group)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(fill = val, text = subregion)) +
  geom_path(data = b, color = "black")

ggplotly(p, tooltip="text")

Tagging @MountainCedar so they know I've filed an issue about this.

まず、提供されている ggplotly の再現可能な例を実行し、州境の近くと遠くで hover の挙動を比較します。レイヤー化されたポリゴンおよびパスの trace が tooltip の選択をどのように処理するかを追跡します。州境付近でも、提案された workaround を必要とせずに郡名の tooltip が利用できれば完了です。issue ではファイル名もテストも指定されていないため、関連する hover コードの特定と回帰テストのカバレッジ追加には、プロジェクトへの理解が必要です。
