modeBarButtonsToAdd doesn’t appear to be working as intended

Using "modeBarButtonsToAdd" to add buttons for interactive annotations and shape drawing in plotly figures, it prevents the HTML plot to be shown at all with plotly.offline rendering!

import plotly.offline as offline
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter(df, x='petal_width', y='sepal_length', color='species')
fig.update_layout(
    dragmode='drawopenpath',
    newshape_line_color='cyan',
    title_text='Draw a path to separate versicolor and virginica'
)

config = dict({'scrollZoom': True,'displaylogo': False, 'modeBarButtonsToAdd':['drawline','drawopenpath','drawcircle','drawrect','eraseshape']}) 

offline.plot(fig,  
                     auto_open=True, image = None, config =config, 
                     filename='./foo.html', include_plotlyjs='directory')

If the 'modeBarButtonsToAdd':[ ] is emptied, the HTML is correctly rendered again. Any idea with this weird behaviour?

Environment:
Python 3.7
Plotly 4.14.1
dash 1.18.1

Start by running the provided Python reproduction with plotly.offline.plot and the modeBarButtonsToAdd configuration, comparing it with an empty button list. Trace the offline HTML generation and verify that the output renders successfully with the drawing buttons enabled; use the reported Python 3.7 and Plotly 4.14.1 environment when checking the behavior.
