Yes, I'm able to hack the widget a bit to make this work. However, when I set this option to true, the shift-selection behaviour is pretty weird: if I make an initial selection it's fine, then shift-click-drag to make a new one doesn't give me the incremental box as I drag, and when I mouse-up, the box is pinned to my mouse and doesn't 'take' until I click.

@alexcjohnson I think we are happy with this current GUI default. No?

This clearly feels like a bug to me... when the circle appears around my cursor is when my mouse button is down.

That doesn't happen at plotly.js level. Right?
Also this PR is related to providing the false option. I mean the true option behaves the same before and after this PR.

This does happen at the Plotly.js level... And this behaviour only appears in false mode, so it's a bug with this PR basically, right?

Sorry, if you meant "does this happen outside of Jupyter in a CodePen?" the answer appears to be no.

And this behaviour only appears in false mode

Well, apparently this isn't true either 🤯 ... Even without this flag set, I get this odd behaviour in Jupyter. OK then, please ignore the noise, we can merge this PR.
