Description
Double clicking on one element in the legend does not always isolate the element's corresponding trace. Sometimes all traces are shown, and sometimes no change is made. See the recording below. A double click preceded every flicker.
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
trace1 = go.Scattermapbox(lat=[0], lon=[0])
fig.add_trace(trace1)
trace2 = go.Scattermapbox(lat=[1], lon=[1])
fig.add_trace(trace2)
lat_cen = 0
lon_cen = 0
fig.layout.mapbox.center = {"lat": lat_cen, "lon": lon_cen}
fig.layout.mapbox.style = "open-street-map"
fig.layout.mapbox.zoom = 5
fig.show()

Research direction
Start by running the provided Python example and reproducing the inconsistent legend double-click behavior. Trace the legend interaction entry point used by the Scattermapbox figure; done means double-clicking one legend element consistently isolates its corresponding trace without flickering or leaving all traces visible.
