Describe the enhancement

When in reading mode, LaTeX math equations render with a white box around it. Here is the sample markdown code.

$\text{size}($![|50](https://i.imgur.com/WRPXnU5.png)$\begin{align}) = 1 + \text{size}(t_{1}) + \text{size}(t_{2}) &&&& \text{(by definition of size)}\end{align}$
$$\begin{align*}
&\leq 1 + 2^{\text{height}(t_{1})} + 2^{\text{height}(t_{2})} && \text{(by IH)} \\
&\leq 1 + 2^{\text{max}\Big(\text{height}(t_{1}), \text{height}(t_{2})\Big)} \cdot 2 && (\because 2^{h_{1}} + 2^{h_{2}} \leq 2^{\text{max}(h_{1}, h_{2})} + 2^{\text{max}(h_{1}, h_{2})} = 2 \cdot 2^{\text{max}\Big(h(t_{1}), h(t_{2})\Big)}) \\
&= \bbox[pink]{1} + 2^{\text{max}(\text{height}(t_{1}), \text{height}(t_{2}))+1}
\end{align*}$$

hey there @rachelkd ! i just checked this but it doesn't seem to be occurring on my end. it also doesn't occur in the default theme.

maybe you have a snippet or plugin that's affecting it? please try disabling all your snippets and plugins, then toggle them on one by one so you can find the culprit. let me know how it goes.

Hey, @ceciliamay ! I can confirm that this issue still occurs with all snippets turned off and community plugins disabled. It also occurs in a sandbox vault. I tried adjusting --file-line-width in a snippet to see if it was margins affecting the rendering, but even with that and readable line width turned off, it doesn't seem to work.

ohhh okay thanks for the additional info. i've tried it in the sandbox vault and still no luck in reproducing it on my end. i took a look at the video you sent again and i have a theory that this might be due to the scrollbar behavior, as i'm seeing the scrollbar take up the white margin. so i think this is at the os-level. can you check in your macOS system setting for these:

you can search scrollbar behavior and it should show up. mine is set at "when scrolling" and the issue doesn't occur. if yours isn't at "when scrolling" can you try selecting it and see if the issue still occurs?

I guess it is at the OS-level! Turned show scroll bars to when scrolling, and the issue went away.
