Description
This is the same bug as #2348:
I cannot set selectedpoints on a scattergl trace when a box selection exists (in v2.35.2)
See the codepen: https://codepen.io/ks_openeye/pen/gvLrxR
It broke in 2.13.0 (still worked in 2.12.0).

Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen reproduction and compare behavior between Plotly.js 2.12.0, where it worked, and 2.13.0, where it broke. Trace the Plotly.update path for selectedpoints on a scattergl trace while a box selection exists; done means the selected points can be set correctly in the reported v2.35.2 scenario.
