Crosstalk javascript breaks once combined with selectInput #124

## pre-process the data
x <- split(iris, iris$Species)

library(shiny)

library(plotly, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
# this behavior is independent of the table implementation
# I observe the same issue with DT 
library(reactable, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

ui <- fluidPage(
  selectInput("species", "Species", names(x), selected = names(x)[[1]]),
  plotlyOutput("p1"),
  reactableOutput("d1"),
  verbatimTextOutput('t1')
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  rvalues <- reactiveValues()
  
  rvalues$key <- reactive({
    x[[input$species]]
  })
  
  prev_selected <- reactive(getReactableState("d1", "selected"))
  
  output$p1 <- renderPlotly({
    s <- prev_selected()
  
    if(!is.null(s)){
      col <- rep('rgba(0,0,0,.10)', nrow(rvalues$key()))
      col[s] <- 'rgba(255,0,0,1)'
    } else {
      col <- 'rgb(0,0,0)'
    }
    
    p <- rvalues$key() %>%
      plot_ly(., showlegend = FALSE) %>%
      add_markers(
        x = ~Sepal.Length,
        y = ~Sepal.Width,
        type = "scatter",
        hoverinfo = "text",
        text = ~ paste0(
          "<b>", Species, "</b>",
          "<br><i>Sepal.Length</i>= ", Sepal.Length,
          "<br><i>Sepal.Width</i> = ", Sepal.Width,
          "<br><i>Petal.Length</i> = ",  Petal.Length)
      ) 
    
    p
  })
  
  output$d1 <- renderReactable({
    rvalues$key() %>%
      reactable(
        .,
        selection = "single",
        onClick = "select"
      ) 
  })
  
  output$t1 <- renderPrint({
    s <- prev_selected()
    if(!is.null(s)){
      cat('These rows were selected:\n\n')
      cat(s, sep = ', ')
    }
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

The issue occurs once changing species input. It leads to a breakdown on crosstalk javascript that is hard to track. It seems crosstalk JS is not cleaned upon option selection, which results in the problem.
