SPLOM deselect not un-highlighting points

[sebastian-raubach]

I'm trying to get the SPLOM to deselect all data points when the background is clicked. This seems to work fine under the hood, but the visual effect is not what I expected. The selection rectangle disappears, but the data point is still highlighted.

There's a Codepen here that illustrates this:

The console output is generated when I click on the background after having selected a data point, but the point is still highlighted.

I found a pull request that seems to address the exact same issue for scattergl, but not splom:
#2492

Any ideas?

That's brilliant, thank you! Any estimate for when this will make it into a new release?
