The bug

I am encountering an issue with the scaling of axes in a 3D plot created using Dash and Plotly. Specifically, I have created a Mesh3d figure with dimensions of 2 by 2 by 2. However, upon visualization, it is apparent that the scaling of the y-axis is not accurately represented. Despite the grid displaying the correct values, the y-axis appears significantly smaller than the other axes.

This happen when I switch from a Scatter3d figure to a Mesh3d figure

Expected behavior

The scaling of all axes (x, y, and z) should accurately represent the dimensions of the figure, with each axis spanning from -1 to 1.

Initial (Expected) :

Switch to Scatter3d

Switch back to Mesh3d

Hi @Coding-with-Adam
Here is a github gist with my code https://gist.github.com/GalTechDev/52d4236f54c1863027c8956d4a82dd6c

Thanks for sharing @GalTechDev
It's really weird because, using your code, I can't even see the gray background of the axes.

Hi @Coding-with-Adam at Line 105 I forgot to switch visibility to True when I upload my code, this will show you the grey grid

Indeed, I was able to replicate the same error. It seems like the scaling gets messed up when the callback fires and switches function from "plot" to "mesh".

Hi, I'm very new to open source projects and I am looking to make my first contribution. Would this bug be a reasonable first issue?
If so, what is the general protocol I should adhere to?

Not to sound helpless, I just want to make sure I can make a meaningful contribution.

Thanks.

Hi @brandonmiyamoto
I don't know how hard this bug can be to fix, but it will really help me with my project.
