None — reproduced while streaming Mermaid diagrams into a chat UI.

💡 Background and solution

The bug

A failed Mermaid render leaves a visible "Syntax error in text" bomb diagram attached to document.body, outside the component and outside any layout, and it accumulates one node per failure. It cannot be scrolled away, dismissed, or cleaned up by the consumer.

Two things combine to cause it.

1. render is called without a container.

const { svg } = await mermaid.render(id, children);

With no svgContainingElement, mermaid mounts its temporary div#d{id} on document.body:

} else {
  removeExistingElements(document, id, enclosingDivID, iFrameID);
  root = select('body');           // <-- here
  appendDivSvgG(root, id, enclosingDivID);
}

2. suppressErrorRendering is left at mermaid's default (false).

In that mode both failure branches of mermaid's render() draw the error diagram into that body-level element and then throw:

try { diag = await Diagram.fromText(text, { title }) }
catch (error) {
  if (config.suppressErrorRendering) { removeTempElements(); throw error }
  diag = await Diagram.fromText('error');      // draws the bomb
  parseEncounteredException = error;
}
...
try { await diag.renderer.draw(text, id, version, diag) }
catch (e) {
  if (config.suppressErrorRendering) { removeTempElements() }
  else { errorRenderer.draw(text, id, version) }   // draws the bomb
  throw e
}

removeTempElements() is only reached on the fully successful path:

if (parseEncounteredException) { throw parseEncounteredException }
removeTempElements();     // unreachable from either throw above
return { diagramType, svg: svgCode, bindFunctions: diag.db.bindFunctions }

So every failed render leaks. The existing mermaid.parse(…, { suppressErrors: true }) guard only covers syntax errors — it does not cover failures inside renderer.draw, which are easy to hit when a diagram arrives incrementally (streaming), where an intermediate partial diagram can parse fine but fail to draw.

Consumers cannot work around this: the node is injected straight into the DOM, so an ErrorBoundary never sees it, and polling document.body still lets the bomb flash on screen first.

Reproduction

Driving mermaid directly with an invalid diagram, in jsdom, with the exact initialize options this component uses:

suppressErrorRendering render threw document.body children left behind contains "Syntax error"
false (current default) 1
true 0

The fix

Default suppressErrorRendering to true so both failure branches clean up after themselves. It is still overridable through the config prop, since it is spread after the defaults.

Follow-ups, deliberately left out to keep this focused

  • Pass containerRef.current as mermaid.render's third argument so the temporary element never touches document.body at all.
  • renderDiagram re-creates its throttle(…, 100) wrapper on every render, so the throttle never actually applies — every streamed chunk triggers a full render.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug 修复
    • Mermaid 图表渲染失败时不再向页面插入错误提示 SVG,避免页面出现异常内容。
    • 渲染错误仍会被捕获并通过警告进行提示。

`renderDiagram` calls `mermaid.render(id, children)` without a container element,
so mermaid mounts its temporary `div#d{id}` on `document.body`. mermaid defaults
to `suppressErrorRendering: false`, and in that mode both failure branches of
`render()` draw the "Syntax error in text" bomb diagram into that temporary
element and *then* throw:

    try { await diag.renderer.draw(text, id, version, diag) }
    catch (e) {
      if (config.suppressErrorRendering) { removeTempElements() }
      else { errorRenderer.draw(text, id, version) }
      throw e
    }

`removeTempElements()` is only reached on the fully successful path, so every
failed render leaves a visible bomb SVG behind in `document.body` — outside the
component, outside any layout, and accumulating one per failure. Callers cannot
clean this up: the node is injected directly into the DOM, so an ErrorBoundary
never sees it.

`mermaid.parse(..., { suppressErrors: true })` guards syntax errors but not
failures inside `renderer.draw`, which is easy to hit while a diagram is being
streamed in chunk by chunk.

Default `suppressErrorRendering` to true (still overridable through `config`) so
both failure branches clean up after themselves.

Follow-ups worth considering, left out to keep this focused:
- pass `containerRef.current` as `mermaid.render`'s third argument so the
  temporary element never touches `document.body` at all;
- `renderDiagram` re-creates its `throttle(..., 100)` wrapper on every render, so
  the throttle never actually applies.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 662a6

The fix prevents leaked Mermaid error diagrams by default, but passing suppressErrorRendering as undefined can still bypass that protection and leave failed-render artifacts in document.body. This bounded correctness issue should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

避免 undefined 覆盖默认值。

config={{ suppressErrorRendering: undefined }} 时,配置展开会覆盖 true。Mermaid 会进入错误图渲染分支,并在抛出异常前跳过 removeTempElements,导致临时节点残留。

将默认值放在配置展开之后,并补充 undefined 与显式 false 的回归测试:
