relayout() fails when adding array item object with constructor

[fhurta]

I upgraded plotly.js from 1.17.1 to 1.25.2 and started facing strange behavior when adding shapes into graph programmatically (after newPlot()).

I use Typescript and the shape object I pass into relayout() function is defined as a class in Typescript. The details are not much relevant, I put together a sample to reproduce the misbehavior by simply wrapping the object with Object.create() (Actually it is for images, not shapes, but id does not matter). Please see here http://codepen.io/exavier/pen/RpzRJY?editors=0011

In relayout() it comes to check manageArrays.isAddVal(vi), which in turn does check isPlainObject(val) where the failing check is Object.getPrototypeOf(obj) === Object.prototype.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks.
Just to choose right workaround - as #1405 status is 'discussion needed' since Feb 22, am I right thinking it is not going to be fixed anytime soon?

@fhurta correct, this issue is likely not going to be resolved anytime soon.

... and I'm actually going to merge this ticket with #1405 as it's really two reports of the same issue.
