When I start a Pluto notebook with the following setup  
Cell 1

```julia
using WGLMakie, Bonito

```

Cell 2

```julia
Page()

```

Cell 3

```julia
scatter(1:10)

```

Cell 4

```julia
scatter(1:10,1:10,1:10)

```

Cell 3 displays a 2D Axis that does not react to the mouse, but it does capture its events, since scrolls don’t affect the notebook.

Cell 4 works as expected, displaying an intractable 3D Axis.

My package versions are

```julia
  [824d6782] Bonito v4.0.0
  [c3e4b0f8] Pluto v0.20.4
  [276b4fcb] WGLMakie v0.10.18

```

Any advice? Is this a bug or can I do something?

If it matters, 2D Axis works just fine when running WGLMakie from the REPL and it opens in a new browser window.

You need to set the url where your reach the notebook from. See proxy url in the bonito docs

Yes, thank you, I did try that but it’s the same as when I have no `proxy_url`. I’m accessing the notebook via LAN so the url is just `192.168.x.x`. Does it need to be in a specific format? I’ve tried including the port and `http://` in the url but nothing changes, also the full url in the browser with the edit id.

What confuses me most is that the 3D plot works just fine.

@sdanisch - any update on this? I have the same thing. 3D plots are working nicely, 2D plots not. I simply use `using WGLMakie` - no call to Bonito
