FigureWidget: resizing can only expand but cannot shrink

[martinRenou]

When executing the following in a JupyterLab Notebook, increasing the window size results in the plot correctly expanding, but reducing the size of the window does not shrink the plot correctly (see following GIF):

import ipywidgets as widgets

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px


fig = px.line([1, 2, 3, 4, 6], template='plotly_dark')

fw = go.FigureWidget(fig)

When building dashbords with resizable windows and FigureWidgets this is getting quite annoying. Is there any workaround ?

[martinRenou]

I never took the time to look deeper into it unfortunately. And I cannot really think of a workaround.

Hi @martinRenou, this hack (#2062) is kinda working

Hi @martinRenou,

looks like the latest release (5.12) solves this issue.

Worth looking at [bqplot/bqplot#1531] to adress a similiar issue when the FigureWidget is inside another container.

Ok great! Let's open a separate issue for any lingering problems plz. No one on the Plotly team is really actively working on the Widget side of things so PRs are very welcome :)
