Axis `automarging` does not work

Hello,
I cannot get the Plotly.js automargin feature to work in React for axis ticks and labels.

Here is an example using official example:

// ...
var data = [
  {
    x: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Watermelon', 'Pears'],
    y: [3, 2, 1, 4],
    type: 'bar'
  }
];
var layout = {
  autosize: false,
  width: 500,
  height: 500,
  yaxis: {
    title: 'Y-axis Title',
    ticktext: ['long label','Very long label','3','label'],
    tickvals: [1, 2, 3, 4],
    tickmode: 'array',
    automargin: true,
    titlefont: { size:20 },
  },
};

  return (
    <div className="card-page">
        <Plot data={data} layout={layout}></Plot>
   </div>

What I get is this:

Am I missing a setting?

The issue names no repository file or test; begin by reproducing its inline JavaScript/React example with long y-axis tick labels and automargin enabled. Trace the resulting margin behavior and verify the result against the rendered example; done means the reported axis-label spacing issue is explained and corrected or clearly documented.
