plot width changes (a lot) when I select option in groupby widget

[MarcSkovMadsen]

hvplot=0.8.1

import pandas as pd
import hvplot.pandas

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "actual": [100, 150, 125, 140, 145, 135, 123],
        "forecast": [90, 160, 125, 150, 141, 141, 120],
        "numerical": [1.1, 1.9, 3.2, 3.8, 4.3, 5.0, 5.5],
        "date": pd.date_range("2022-01-03", "2022-01-09"),
        "string": ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"],
    },
)
hvplot.explorer(df)

Steps

• Select stringin theGroupby` widget on the left
• Select another value in the widget added on the right

I would expect the plot width to stay constant. But it shrinks to half the size. A small plot is not very useful and behavior like this does not leave a polished impression.

Agree it's a bug! I recently found this quote that I think applies well in this case:

If you aren't embarrassed by the first version of your product, you shipped too late

;)

(hvPlot 0.8.1 has already been released by the way, so I updated the milestone you set)
