Text overlaps with border on Mermaid.js diagrams in a Reveal.js presentation

[NiccoMlt]

Problem

I have a Quarto project that produces a Reveal.js presentation.

I'm using some simple class diagrams written with Mermaid.js, and they render correctly when opened in the browser.

When I use Decktape to export the presentation to a PDF file, the boxes have a wrong size, and the text overlaps with the border.

I also discovered quarto-dev/quarto-cli#4677, but it doesn't seem to be a problem directly related to Quarto CLI itself.

Digging deeper on the problem, it seems like that using mermaid-format: png or mermaid-format: svg to generate the mermaid graphics at rendering time works as a workaround.

Please note that SVG format may require to force the width (even using the 100% of the available width with %%| fig-width: 100%) to avoid cropped, scrollable images on multi-column layouts.

Asking on quarto-dev/quarto-cli#5416, they suggest that decktape is confusing mermaid's window size determination code: quarto-dev/quarto-cli#5416 (comment)
