hovertext re-appears after "playing" an animation #1001

Description

@zadamg

Simple as the title.. no callback is firing to update; it's just the in-line Express animator. Just make a px.Scatter with an animation_group and slider, then update the layout before rendering:

fig.update_traces(hoverinfo="none", hovertemplate=None, hovertext=None)

Then play the animation and hover over a point and the hovertext has reappeared. Expected behavior would be to stay hidden, as there's nothing asking hovertext to be re-enabled after explicitly updating all traces not to have one.

Here's the behavior:

Here's the slider/button I created. Sadly, I don't have a minimally re-producable example, but it should be easy enough to recreate.

fig.update_layout(
        sliders=[
            dict(
                currentvalue=dict(
                    prefix="Date: ",
                    visible=True,
                ),

                y=0,
                steps=[],
            )
        ],
        updatemenus=[
