Issue description
Hello, I'm having this issue where the hover data doesn't seem to show correctly, but it instead shows "%{customdata[0}" on the hover box.
fig_scatter = go.FigureWidget(px.scatter(df,
x='some_column1', y='some_column2',
title=f'Scatterplot',
hover_data=['column_in_df']
))
If I have the px.scatter plotted using a go.Figure directly it works but with go.FigureWidget it doesn't.
x and y columns show on the hover data, while this extra column_in_df doesn't even though it's also part of the df.
Let me know if any additional information is needed. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with px.scatter wrapped in go.FigureWidget in a Jupyter Notebook, using the stated Python, Plotly, and ipywidgets versions. Compare it with the same px.scatter passed to go.Figure and inspect how hover_data is represented; done means the hover box shows the column_in_df value instead of the literal %{customdata[0} text.
