I’m encountering unexpected behavior when attempting to plot subplots with the plotlyjs backend. Minimal example:

```julia
using Plots
plotlyjs()
plot(rand(100,4),layout=4)

```

The output produced is below. The first plot is huge and the next three overlay it. ![newplot](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/0/3/03a7747486a5d98651a36d87529ff31c1906ae60.png)

Apologies if I am missing something simple. I am using:

```julia
julia version 1.0.1
[f0f68f2c] PlotlyJS v0.12.2
[91a5bcdd] Plots v0.22.4

```

I have done a `Pkg.update()` and `Pkg.resolve()`. Any help would be much appreciated!

I don’t have the same issue as yours with 2D plots, but I have an issue with 3D plots

```julia
plot(
    plot(rand(100), legend = false),
    scatter3d(rand(100), rand(100), rand(100))
    ) |> display

```

I’m open to suggestions

I have the same issue:

```julia
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x = 0:100
y1 = @. -4.4 + (0.4 * x)
y2 = @. -4.8 + (0.4 * x)

p1 = plot(x, y1, label="y1")
p2 = plot(x, y2, label="y2")

plot(p1, p2, layout=(1, 2))

```

Has anybody found a solution for this?
