Description
I need to use latex notation in legend of the plot, but it works wrong (at least in jupyter lab). For example:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
name="$hello$"
))
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
y=[5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
name="$world$"
))
fig.show()
Will show something like this:
As you can see, the legend is cropped on the right. Is it any way to fix it?

Start with the provided Python reproduction in Jupyter Lab and the fig.show() entry point, then inspect how legend labels containing LaTeX are rendered. Done means the $hello$ and $world$ legend entries display without being cropped on the right.
