Description
Description
Running facet row plot with an animation frame using plotly express will fail updating the features in case of values missing in one category.
Reproduce
- plotly : 4.1.1
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(
df,
x="total_bill",
y="tip",
facet_row="day",
animation_frame="time",
# facet_col="time"
)
fig.show()
Results
expected : When setting the cursor back to dinner, it fails to update the row which had missing values in day for lunch.
I have no idea if this is related to plotly express, widgets or something else. Thank you !

Start by running the provided plotly.express.scatter reproduction with facet_row="day" and animation_frame="time". Trace the facet and animation update path, then verify that moving the cursor back to dinner updates the row that was missing lunch values without failure.
