Description
Should we raise a warning or an error in the following case (which is very contrived of course)
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(df, x='tip', y='total_bill', color='day', facet_col='sex',
labels={'tip':'sex', 'day':'sex'})
fig.show()
in this case, in the hover only the value corresponding to x='tip' appears.
