Running into an issue where the MarkdownTableContent DEFAULT_CSS is causing a crash when I try to run my app which is using the Markdown widget as a parent. Here is an excerpt of example code causing the issue:
test_text = """
[Other markdown here]
---
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Cell A | Cell B | Cell C |
| **Bold** | *Italic* | `Code` |
---
"""
class ChatBubble(Markdown): # unfinished subclass
def __init__(self, markdown:str)-> None:
super().__init__(markdown)
class AgentBubble(ChatBubble):
def __init__(self, spaced_markdown: str) -> None:
markdown = textwrap.dedent(spaced_markdown).strip()
super().__init__(markdown)
self.border_title = 'Agent'
self.styles.border_title_align = 'left'
# within later parent widget class
def on_mount(self) -> None:
if self.screen.initial_mount: # type: ignore
self.screen.initial_mount = True # type: ignore
chat_region = self.query_one('#chat_region')
if stack := rl_handler.stash:
while len(stack) > 0:
record = stack.pop()
chat_region.mount(ConsoleBubble(record))
chat_region.mount(AgentBubble(test_text)) # for live CSS dev❯ uv run miwa.py

CSS parsing failed: 1 error found in stylesheet
Editing the _markdown.py file and the offending line to be just keyline: thin $foreground fixes the crash, but I'm not sure why this is happening if it is something on my end. I am not doing anything crazy at the App level regarding the CSS:
class Miwa(App):
def __init__(self) -> None:
super().__init__( css_path='./miwa.tcss', watch_css=True)

Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm doing something dumb.
