Description
When using Plotly.js, if both tickformat and hoverformat are specified for the y-axis, the y-axis values unexpectedly change to the hoverformat values instead of displaying the tickformat values.
example code:
yaxis2: {
title: { text: 'Strip Widht [mm]' }, // Y-axis title
titlefont: { color: '#004768', size: 8, standoff: 0.1 },
tickfont: { color: '#004768', size: 8 },
domain: [0.15, 0.80],
linecolor: '#004768',
// range based on strip width setpoint + tollerance + 10 mm extra
range: [(tagValues[4] - tagValues[3] - 5), (tagValues[4] + tagValues[3] + 5)],
tickvals: [(tagValues[4] - tagValues[3] - 3),(tagValues[4] - tagValues[3]), tagValues[4], (tagValues[4] + tagValues[3]), (tagValues[4] + tagValues[3] + 3)],
hoverformat: '.2f',
tickformat: '.0f',
zeroline: false
},

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the provided yaxis2 configuration, keeping both tickformat: '.0f' and hoverformat: '.2f' set. Trace how the axis renders tick labels and hover labels, then verify that ticks use the tickformat while hover values retain the hoverformat.
