Description
Hi,
I'm new to plotly and it seems to me that following behavior is a bug.
Can someone please verify it?
Thanks for a great library.
from plotly import express as px
# this works just fine
px.histogram(np.random.randint(0, 8, 100), log_y=True, log_x=False)
# but this "works" but it produces an empty plot, no errors are raised
px.histogram(np.random.randint(0, 8, 100), log_y=False, log_x=True)

Research direction
Run the supplied Python reproduction with px.histogram first, confirming that log_x=True produces an empty plot while log_y=True works. Trace the histogram handling for the log_x option and compare it with log_y; done means the reported input produces a populated histogram without errors, with a regression check for this case.
