hoverdistance broken in 3D scatter plots (hover radius vs click radius)?

[bolau]

Hi,

I want to use plotly in interactive dashboards. With my 3D scatter plots, I noticed that it's quite confusing that the click radius is different from the hover radius: when you move the mouse inside a point's hover radius, you get the hover lines that point to the axes, but it doesn't react to clicks yet. For that, you have to go much closer.
Is there a way to change the click radius to match the hover radius?

So I tried to change the hoverdistance parameter in the layout object, but realized that it seems that hoverdistance is broken in 3D plots. Here's a working example. You will see, that changing the hoverdistance doesn't make any difference:

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Here's the link to the documentation on the hoverdistance parameter, which doesn't distinguish between 2D and 3D plots:
