Rangeslider strange behaviour and legend still working while staticPlot is true

[COLLINETTEBastien]

Hello,
I am using Plotly at work and I noticed that when the parameter 'staticPlot' is true, the plot events are disabled but the legend and the range slider are still usable.
Moreover, the range slider has a strange behavior when 'staticPlot' is enabled: each click on the slider reset the selected range so we can't move it as expected.

Here's a working example to illustrate what I'm saying:

So is it possible to disable the events that concern the legend and the range slider without removing them or, at least, keep the range slider working the same as when the plot isn't static?

Thank you very much !

Thanks @COLLINETTEBastien - this is definitely a bug, staticPlot should disable all interactions of any kind. Thanks for the clear codepen.

@archmoj @COLLINETTEBastien How did you solve the issue? It seems it is not solved as of december 2022:

In this example (live demo here), the plot is static but the slider is still active:

<meta charset="utf8">
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.js"></script>
<div id="myDiv"></div>
<script>
var steps = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) 
    steps.push({label: i, method: "skip"});
Plotly.newPlot("myDiv", [{ "y": [1, 2, 3] }], {sliders: [{ len: 1, x: 0, steps: steps }]}, {staticPlot: true});
</script>

Can we reopen this @alexcjohnson?

@josephernest Please note plotly-latest stayed at latest v1.
To load the latest current v2 version try https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-2.16.4.min.js instead.

Thanks @archmoj but the problem is still there with 2.16.4:

The plot is static, but the slider is still active (it should not).

Thanks for the demo.
You are right. I reopen the issue.

@josephernest I close this issue which was related to rangeslider not slider.
For slider I opened #6392.
