Description
https://codepen.io/mason142/pen/gOLmvGY
In this codepen I have a scatter chart setup with some setTimeout's to trigger react state changes which power the values in plotly. As you can see, the red line disappears after I change the value of g. if you double click the chart it comes back. If I update x,y, and g at the same time then there are no issues.
If annotations x,y values are hard coded and don't change based on state changes like in this example then the problem also goes away.

Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen reproduction and trace the React state changes to x, y, and g, comparing separate updates with a simultaneous update. Confirm that the annotation disappears after g changes and returns after a chart double-click; done means annotations remain visible across asynchronous updates.
