Environment
Plotly Version: 6.1.2
Operating System: Windows 10 22H2 19045.5854 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19061.1000.0

When trying to visualize dense binary time-series data (e.g., 10 channels over 4,000+ time points), both px.imshow and px.timeline fail to render the data correctly in the default, zoomed-out view. The areas that should contain data appear blank.

However, if you manually zoom into any region of the plot, the data correctly appears. Resetting the zoom causes the data to disappear again. This suggests the issue is not with the data itself, but with the rendering engine's handling of very thin graphical elements (heatmap cells or gantt bars) at a low zoom level.

Here is my origin data.
BAO_spikes_sorted_output.csv

Here is my html.(Please change the suffix to html)

BAO Spike Heatmap.txt

Here is my code.

def plot_binary_heatmap(csv_file="./data/down/combined_binary.csv", title="Binary Heatmap of Signals"):
    """

    """
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_file)

    # 1. Extract the time column (keep as float)
    if 'Time' in df.columns:
        time = df['Time'].astype(float)
        df = df.drop(columns=['Time'])
    elif 'time' in df.columns:
        time = df['time'].astype(float)
        df = df.drop(columns=['time'])
    else:
        # If no time column exists, create an index
        time = pd.Series(range(df.shape[0]))

    # 2. Transpose: each row is a file, each column is a time point
    df_t = df.T
    df_t.index.name = "File"

    # Update index, keep only the part before "_"
    df_t.index = df_t.index.to_series().str.split('_').str[0]

    # 3. Set time as column names (keep as float)
    df_t.columns = time

    z = df_t.to_numpy()
    y_labels = df_t.index.tolist()
    x_values = df_t.columns.to_numpy()

    # 4. Create the heatmap
    fig = px.imshow(
        z,
        labels=dict(x="Time (s)", y="Channel", color="Binary"),
        x=x_values,

        aspect="auto",
