I was trying to create a plot, with 8 tracks divided in 2 subplots arranged in a grid, where 7 tracks share same x axis and one of them will have a different x axis. here is sample

var data = [{
    x: [
      0,
      90,
      180,
      270,
    ],
    y: [
      0,
      26,
      408,
      24,
    ],
    type: "scatter",
    yaxis: "y",
    xaxis: "x",
    name: "Channel 1",
    showlegend: true,
    visible: true,
    marker: {
      color: "rgba(76, 198, 233, 0.5)"
    },
    line: {
      width: 2,
      color: "rgba(76, 198, 233, 0.5)"
    },
    fillcolor: "rgba(76, 198, 233, 0.25)",
    mode: "lines",
    hoverinfo: "none"
  },
  {
    x: [
      0,
      90,
      180,
      270,
    ],
    y: [

    overlaying: 'x'
  },
  showlegend: false
};

Plotly.newPlot("myDiv", data, layout, {
  responsive: true
});

I am unable to figure out why track with name "Channel 5" is hiding other tracks behind it, while xaxis2.overlaying is set to 'x' and yaxis6.overlaying = yaxis4.overlaying = yaxis8.overlaying = 'y2'.

here is screen shot.
