Feature description
In this thread https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-swapping-plots-un-hiding-decorations-loading-existing-plot-objects-into-axes/118922/3
it was indicated by jules that axis events do remain active for axes currently hidden.
--> It will be good to restrict interactivity only to the non-hidden axis, or perhaps a manually selected axis (like the
axis.blockscene.visible[]
but for interactions)Similarly, if we add a menu in the upper right corner of a subplot, e.g. to control what type of figure is shown, opening this menu will start a rectangle zoom procedure that cannot be properly ended. The rectangle zoom may be a valid and desirable interaction in the shown axis, but should be restricted to locations not occupied by menus, buttons or toggles inside the subplot area.
--> Menus, buttons and toggles should block other interactivity just in the space they take up.
