[BUG]: Mixed bar orientations hide one bar on initial render, but restyle renders correctly #5618

Description

A figure with two go.Bar traces renders differently depending on when the second
trace is changed from horizontal to vertical.

If fig.data[1].orientation = "v" is set before the first render, one red vertical
bar is missing or clipped. If the same base figure is rendered first and the same
orientation value is applied later with Plotly.restyle, all three red bars are
visible.

Steps to reproduce

import io

import plotly
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.io as pio
from PIL import Image, ImageChops
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

print(f"Plotly version: {plotly.__version__}")

fig = go.Figure(
    [
        go.Bar(name="a", orientation="h", x=[1, 3, 2], y=[0, 1, 2]),
        go.Bar(name="b", orientation="h", x=[3, 2, 1], y=[0, 1, 2]),
    ]
)
fig.update_layout(xaxis_title="value", yaxis_title="index", legend_title_text="variable")

# plot1.png: set orientation before the first render.
fig.data[1].orientation = "v"
assert fig.data[1].orientation == "v"
html1 = pio.to_html(fig, full_html=True, include_plotlyjs="cdn")

# plot2.png: render first, then apply the same value with Plotly.restyle.
fig.data[1].orientation = "h"
html2 = pio.to_html(fig, full_html=True, include_plotlyjs="cdn")
html2 = html2.replace(
    "</body>",
    """
<script>
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
    const plotEl = document.getElementsByClassName("plotly-graph-div")[0];
    setTimeout(() => {
        Plotly.restyle(plotEl, {"orientation": "v"}, [1]);
    }, 1000);
});
</script>
</body>""",
)

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch(
        headless=True,
        args=["--no-sandbox", "--disable-dev-shm-usage", "--disable-gpu"],
    )
    page = browser.new_page(viewport={"width": 1200, "height": 800})

    page.set_content(html1)
    page.wait_for_timeout(1500)
    img1 = page.screenshot(path="plot1.png")

    page.set_content(html2)
    page.wait_for_timeout(2000)
    img2 = page.screenshot(path="plot2.png")

    browser.close()

diff = ImageChops.difference(
    Image.open(io.BytesIO(img1)).convert("RGB"),
    Image.open(io.BytesIO(img2)).convert("RGB"),
)
assert diff.getbbox() is not None, "Screenshots are unexpectedly identical."
print("Saved plot1.png and plot2.png")
