The "download image" button sometimes saves images incorrectly- the most obvious symptom is a black background to the plot or missing gene data. This has been reported on some newer versions of PheWeb.
Evaluation
The download code tries to minimize what styles are included, by looking for a hardcoded filename locuszoom.css.
An alternative solution would be to only include styles matching a rule, perhaps the lz prefix- some exploration would be required.
Scope
Most LZ usages in the wild would not be affected. When seen, the problem is cross browser, various LZ versions.
Apps will only be affected if they rename the CSS file where LocusZoom code is contained- the particularly likely scenario is if the consuming app uses an asset pipeline, concatenating into vendor.css. Most of the research sites we support do not use sophisticated tooling.
