Zooming in IJulia notebooks

[isentropic]

I'm failing to use the mouse zooming in IJulia
Specifically, panning works with no problem, but when I try to zoom it (shift+leftclick), it zooms to a seaming random location (off the limits from the current plot)

However, it works if the plot was made from REPL (standalone html with the plot works ok)

Here are some logs:

i can reproduce on julia 0.7 using chrome. a very similar if not identical problem occurs when trying to zoom on the gadfly docs. interestingly, hstack(plot(y=[1,2,3]), plot(y=[1,2,3])) at the REPL is not a problem.

that the <svg> tag is wrapped in a <div> in the two cases it is broken, and not in the cases it works, leads me to think that is the problem. not sure how to fix it though.

relevant code is here

@bjarthur is there anyone who could help?
Just wondering, am I right to zoom by shift-left-clicking on a rectangle? Maybe there's an alternative way to zoom?
Any alternative solution that does not require me to type the coordinates of the 'rectangle' of interest would do

This issue also appeared over on discourse:
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/gadfly-plot-zoom-does-not-work/

Their solution was to use Safari.

[isentropic]

Standalone plotting from the terminal (which opens a dedicated tab in Firefox in my case) works though. It really the Firefox issue?

[isentropic]

Just checked, the issue remains in Chrome, not sure about Safari as I am running Ubuntu

Might be related to #1256.

How do I zoom plots in qtconsole? cmd + + zooms the text just fine, but not plots.

[bjarthur]

have you tried the interactivity tools built in to gadfly?

These don't work on qtconsole:
