Description

When using Box Select or Lasso Select from the Modebar for the scatter_polar charts, the selection is not editable nor draggable as in regular scatter charts. This can be easily verified by interacting with the charts from the official Plotly website:

  1. Scatter Polar (not editable or draggable)
  2. Scatter

We should expect the same behavior across all charts available in Plotly.
