Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the updated plotly and kaleido versions and the shown fig.update_layout call. Compare the rendered plot size before and after the updates; done means identifying a confirmed regression or incompatibility and documenting a tested fix or workaround.

Description

bug P3

Hi,

I updated plotly and kaleido to the latest version.
When I rerun some scripts, my rescaling of the plots doesn't work anymore.

fig.update_layout(
    autosize=False,
    height=150,
    width=180,
)

Changing height and width does not change the plot size anymore.
Am I doing something wrong?
