Plotly: geom_line() with text mapping and without group mapping doesn't render

[trafficonese]

I have a base-barchart plot with working tooltips.

I want to add a line-chart by clicking a radioButton on top of the barchart, also with hovering tooltips, which is not working as I expected.

1. When adding a text argument to the additional line, the line is not showing up, but when I hover over the pot, the labels of the line show.
2. When uncommenting the text argument (_line 28_), the line shows, but no hovering tooltips, as expected.
3. When removing the tooltip = "text" from the ggplotly call (_line 33_), the line and the tooltips shows up, but the formatting is not like I want it to be.

library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)

dfN <- data.frame(
  time_stamp = seq.Date(as.Date("2018-04-01"), as.Date("2018-07-30"), 1),
  val = runif(121, 100,1000),
  col = "green", stringsAsFactors = F
)

ui <- fluidPage(
  br(),br(),
  checkboxInput("zus1", value = FALSE, label = HTML("add Line")),
  plotlyOutput("plt")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$plt <- renderPlotly({
    key <- highlight_key(dfN)
    p <- ggplot() +
      geom_col(data = key, aes(x = plotly:::to_milliseconds(time_stamp), y = val, fill=I(col),
                               text=paste("Datum: ", time_stamp, "<br>")))


    if (input$zus1 == TRUE) {
      p <- p + geom_line(data = dfN, aes(x = plotly:::to_milliseconds(dfN$time_stamp), y = val
                                         ## This text is not showing up, but hovering shows the labels
                                         # , text=paste("Value: ", val)
                                         ), color="red")
    }

    ## Removing tooltip = "text" shows the additional line and hover-labels but with horrible formatting.
    ggplotly(p, source = "Src") %>% 
      highlight(selectize=F, on="plotly_click", off = "plotly_doubleclick", color = "blue") %>% 
      layout(xaxis = list(tickval = NULL, ticktext = NULL, type = "date"))
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Here's a more minimal example of the same issue:

library(plotly)

dfN <- data.frame(
  time_stamp = seq.Date(as.Date("2018-04-01"), as.Date("2018-07-30"), 1),
  val = runif(121, 100, 1000),
  stringsAsFactors = F
)

p <- ggplot(dfN) +
  geom_line(aes(x = time_stamp, y = val, text = paste("Value: ", val)))

ggplotly(p)

Turns out you can 'fix' it by adding group = 1 to the aesthetic mapping

p <- ggplot(dfN) +
  geom_line(aes(x = time_stamp, y = val, group = 1, text = paste("Value: ", val)))

ggplotly(p)

This is a pretty bad bug that we should fix
