Memory leak with uirevision while in storybook (scatter3d)

[afalco-nominal]

I was doing some benchmarking and noticed a memory leak stemming from having uirevision=1. i comment out the field and no more leak.
I can't say if this is isolated to scatter3d, but thats what I was benchmarking.

i hit the issue only in storybook. porting the same code over to codesandbox does not encounter the leak. likewise if i comment out my <Scatter3D/> component from the Render, i do not encounter the leak.
apologies in advance if this is a storybook bug and not a plotly bug.

this is all pretty throwaway code half written with claude so forgive me for messiness!

// story
import type { Meta, StoryObj } from "@storybook/react";

  useEffect,
  useState,
  useRef,
  useCallback,

const meta: Meta<typeof Scatter3D> = {
  title: "Charts/Scatter3D",
  component: Scatter3D,
  parameters: {
    layout: "centered",
  },
};

export default meta;

// Helper function to generate random data
function generateRandomData(traceCount: number, pointsPerTrace: number) {
  return Array.from({ length: traceCount }, (_, traceIndex) => ({
    x: Array.from({ length: pointsPerTrace }, () => Math.random() * 100),
    y: Array.from({ length: pointsPerTrace }, () => Math.random() * 100),
    z: Array.from({ length: pointsPerTrace }, () => Math.random() * 100),
    name: `Trace ${traceIndex + 1}`,
  }));
}

This is unlikely to be an issue in react-plotly.js per se, if it’s in Plotly code it’s probably in plotly.js. But to investigate that we’d really need to be able to reproduce outside of React

(cc @gvwilson, not sure if you have eyes on this repo)

@alexcjohnson unfortunately i dont have a non-react repro handy. this is a pretty trivial nuisance on my end that i figured i'd report in case there's potential implications in a more production-like setting. so no worries on my end
