color_continuous_scale incompatible with marginal distributions in density_heatmap

I was trying out the examples from https://plotly.com/python/2D-Histogram/ and wanted to use the density heat map with marginal distribution on x and y but wanted to change the colour map to align with some previous work.
I found when combining the two subsequent examples from the 2D-Histogram page I got an error. If the marginal distribution and color_continuous_scale aren't meant to be used together there should at least be a better error message.
I btw also test other kinds of distributions like box, violin and rug with the same result.

plotly Version: 5.17.0

My code:

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()

fig = px.density_heatmap(df, x="total_bill", y="tip", nbinsx=20, nbinsy=20, marginal_x="histogram", marginal_y="histogram", color_continuous_scale="Viridis")
fig.show()

Traceback:

Beginne bei plotly/express/_chart_types.py in density_heatmap und verfolge make_figure in plotly/express/_core.py. Verwende dabei das bereitgestellte Beispiel mit marginal und color_continuous_scale, um den Fehler zu reproduzieren. Bestimme, ob die Kombination funktionieren sollte oder einen gezielten Fehler erzeugen sollte, und überprüfe anschließend, ob das resultierende Verhalten die gemeldeten histogram-, box-, violin- und rug-Marginals abdeckt.
