ggplotly deletes axis title in combination with scale_x_continuous

I have a problem with ggplotly command.

It erases the xlab or ylab text if I scale the axis with scale_x_continuous.

library(plotly)
df <- data.frame(a=letters, b=LETTERS, x=runif(26), y=runif(26))
g <- ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) + 
  geom_point(aes(text=sprintf('letter: %s\nLetter: %s', a, b))) +
  xlab('test') + ylab('test') +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(-100,100,.1), minor_breaks=seq(-100,100,.05), limits=c(0,1))
g
(gg <- ggplotly(g))

The g graph is still fine with both labels on the axis but the ggplotly graph deletes the title if I set a scale to any of the axis.

This is independent of the axis. But I didn't checked other scales so far.

Any idea why this happens and how to solve it?

Im not sure that it is intended but if you use scale_... function then you have to provide axis title inside scale_... because title set inside labs() or xlab()/ylab() is ignored.

g <- ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) + 
      geom_point(aes(text=sprintf('letter: %s\nLetter: %s', a, b))) +
      ylab('test') +
      scale_x_continuous("test",breaks=seq(-100,100,.1), 
                      minor_breaks=seq(-100,100,.05), limits=c(0,1))
g
(gg <- ggplotly(g))
