Description

Hi, I create candlestick chart with some traces as makers and slider.
The slider using redraw = True. When I move the slider, the markers trace animate just fine but the candlestick chart flick every time slider move. It seem that the redraw function cause it, even thought I set it as 0s duration and mode immediately but it still flick.

Do we have plan to fix it yet? I see that mapbox and scatter don't have this issue.
Thanks

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the candlestick flicker while moving a slider with redraw enabled, then compare the behavior with marker traces and the cited mapbox and scatter cases. Done means slider updates no longer visibly flicker the candlestick chart while the other traces continue to animate correctly.
