OpenIconic <&minus> no longer properly aligned vertically, unlike the <&plus>

Question

Hi, in 2016 I made a series of diagrams, using Openiconic <&plus> and <&minus> for a visually nice and noticeable "heavy" representation of "+=" and "−=" operators in an activity diagram. At the time both the plus and the minus aligned nicely with the "=" vertically, making the intent obvious.

However, when I regenerate the diagrams with today's version, the "minus" is no longer vertically aligned properly with the "=", unlike the "plus":

   • specialContributionRemainder <&minus>= <color:ForestGreen>salary</color>    <color:grey>&#47;/ //subtract// !!!</color>;

This looks like a bug to me, did anyone else notice and is someone looking into this?

Many thanks for the report!

This should be fixed in last snapshot https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml/releases/tag/snapshot

Tell us if it's not working for you!

Yes! In the ~v1.2024.7beta5 shapshot 2024-08-29 at 08:15:05 (UTC) it's much better again.
However, the minus is still just a teensy bit higher than before:

On the online server, it looks fine :-(

Can you send us your full diagram text and on which config you are running PlantUML ?
Thanks

Hi, here's a link to the full diagram.
I'm running on Windows 10, from the jar.

We're still on it and we made some tests under Windows.

On our config, this is fine.

But this is not good.

Yes, the title is the only difference (both are working on the web server).

Can you tell us if the result on your config?

Thanks!
