Description
While providing a current field to a FF streamline object, I get this error. This error happens even in current plotly version: e53e626d59495d440341751f60aeff73ff365c28 (The last commit I tested the workflow in)
The same field when provided to a matplotlib streamplot object produces the expected lines:
The only difference which I could see is the ODE integrator being used in matplotlib and plotly. I refer to
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/streamplot.py with matplotlib using Heun's method.

Research direction
Reproduce the NaNs with a current field supplied to an FF streamline object, then compare its ODE integration with matplotlib's lib/matplotlib/streamplot.py, which the issue identifies as using Heun's method. Done means the same field produces finite, expected streamline lines rather than NaNs.
