Research direction
Start by running the provided Python reproduction and compare the two traces written to test_gl_linebreak.html: Scattergl() and Scatter(). Inspect the Scattergl text-rendering path after confirming that the same text displays a line break in Scatter(). Done means the line break renders consistently for Scattergl text without regressing the regular Scatter case.
