Bug in displaying the text defined in hovertemplate for Surface

See original GitHub issue

A hovertemplate for Surface defined from customdata consisting in an array of shape (m, n, 3), and defined as follows:

hover = 'theta: %{customdata[0]:.3f}'+\
        '<br>phi: %{customdata[1]: .3f}'+\
        '<br>power: %{customdata[2]:.3f}<extra></extra>'

is displayed correctly only for the default position of the camera.eye. If you rotate the sphere the text is displayed verbatim like in the definition of hovertemplate:

The Python code is posted on forum: https://community.plotly.com/t/surface3d-with-customdata/42708/3.

I ran into this issue and noticed customdata swaps m and n when provided an array. I worked around this issue by swapping the axes of customdata compared to the rest of the surface.

I noticed the problem even on initial camera position.
