I'm loving using mermaid inside quarto (run from Rstudio on a Mac).

I'm teaching git stuff and making some collaboration diagrams, you can see them at:

I'm seeing a small rounded corner square box in the bottom left of my images. Same thing with sequence diagrams, e.g.,:

I cross-posted this at Mermaid: https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/discussions/4176 

The little squares don't show up using mermaid.live so it's possible/likely it's something in the rendering pipeline that quarto is using (maybe Chrome as render?). I don't see the squares in other quarto mermaid output: e.g.,: https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/diagrams.html. So probably it's something to do with my install (obtained quarto via homebrew)? </div>

Any idea why my mermaid figures have small white boxes bottom left?
