I have a GeoBubbleChart and I am trying to "zoom in" into a specific region with GeoRange. The result is unexpected and potentially reflects a bug.

Here is an example. First let's see the expected behaviour in GeoListPlot. Consider this graph:

SeedRandom[1];
plotDat = EntityValue[RandomEntity["Country", 100], EntityProperty["Country", "Position"]];
GeoListPlot[plotDat]

which gives

Now let's zoom into Europe:

GeoListPlot[plotDat, GeoRange -> {{35, 60}, {-10, 40}}]

which works nicely:

Now let's try the same with GeoBubbleChart:

SeedRandom[2];
plotDat2 = Table[p -> RandomReal[], {p, plotDat}];
GeoBubbleChart[plotDat2]

which gives

and let's try to zoom in:

GeoBubbleChart[plotDat2, GeoRange -> {{35, 60}, {-10, 40}}]

which runs weirdly long and unexpectedly gives:

This is definitely unexpected and probably a bug, right?
