Hi,
I'm working on an application that relies on being able to edit shapes and I was running into some issues when the shape was actually being edited.
The issue can be reproduced by just going to the example on the "Adding labels to shape" example in the official documentation

If you try to edit any of the two editable shapes, it disappears with and the console shows some errors related to the date being NaN. I found this other CodePen where it does work as expected. I tried this Codepen with different version of Plotly and I found it to start breaking as of using v2.34.0. I had a quick look at the release notes and I can't really pin point a mentioned change that could cause this, but I'm also not at all familiar with the internal operation.
Hope anyone here can identify what is going wrong.

Best,
Wout

                          Hi,
                          
I'm working on an application that relies on being able to edit shapes and I was running into some issues when the shape was actually being edited.
                          
The issue can be reproduced by just going to the example on the "Adding labels to shape" example in the official documentation
                          If you try to edit any of the two editable shapes, it disappears with and the console shows some errors related to the date being NaN. I found this other CodePen where it does work as expected. I tried this Codepen with different version of Plotly and I found it to start breaking as of using v2.34.0. I had a quick look at the release notes and I can't really pin point a mentioned change that could cause this, but I'm also not at all familiar with the internal operation.
                          
Hope anyone here can identify what is going wrong.
                          Best,
