Does not respect space = "free" in facet_grid

[stanstrup]

mt <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, colour = factor(cyl))) + geom_point()
p <- mt + facet_grid(. ~ cyl, scales = "free", space = "free")

p

ggplotly(p)

Hi have a workaround using plotly's subplot function. Still needs further tuning, so please keep adding.

library(plotly)
library(tidyverse)

#define plot yaxis limits 
limits <- mtcars %>%
  summarise(max = ceiling(max(wt*1.1)),
            min = floor(min(wt*0.9)))

#define width of subplots by finding the absolut range of each "facet"
plot_width<- mtcars %>%
  group_by(cyl) %>%
  summarise(range = range(mpg)[2]-range(mpg)[1]) %>%
  ungroup() %>%
  mutate(width_pct = range/sum(range))


#define a list of ggplot and feed it in the subplot function with the calculated limits
mtcars %>%
  split(.$cyl) %>%
  map(function(x) {
    ggplot(data=x,aes(mpg,wt)) + geom_point(size=2)+
      facet_grid(.~cyl) + ylim(c(limits$min,limits$max))
  }) %>%
  subplot(margin = 0.005, shareY = T,widths = plot_width$width_pct)

Issue still there. Any chance this will be fixed ?
We want to use ggplot free scale feature in combination with plotly tooltip.
Thanks!
