plotly.express.scatter_geo shows values provided to text argument in the hoverinfo instead of printing them on the map

I am trying to label some of the points on my scatter map using plotly.express.scatter_geo and text argument. I think there's a bug that causes text to be picked up for hoverinfo instead of the labels. See the reproducible example below:

import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.gapminder().query("year == 2007")

fig = px.scatter_geo(df, locations="iso_alpha",
                     color="continent", # which column to use to set the color of markers
                     hover_name="country", # column added to hover information
                     size="pop", # size of markers
                     projection="natural earth",
                     text="lifeExp")
fig.show()

I was expecting the values as labels for each point in reference to documentation: https://plotly.com/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.express.scatter_geo.html
