I’m not sure if this is a CairoMakie problem, or a VS code problem, but whenever I make figures in CairoMakie and then copy them from VS code it adds a patch of whitespace to the right of the plots?

In VS Code is looks like I’d expect its only when I try and copy from it I get this problem

Is the file natively SVG or PNG? Can you replicate this if you run `CairoMakie.activate!(type=:png)` first?
