Reference Guide 17.10-2, the "boxless" style cannot apply to the root element

Question

Hello,

I'm learning the reference guide on MindMap chapter, for the 2nd example of 17.10 Changing Styles, I see the "boxless {}" styles can apply to all levels' elements but not the root element. Below is my code in live server, I create one another root element called "Another Root" as comparison:

Hi X.,

Thanks for the report.

For debugging point of view... (and for PlantUML team) Here is a minimal not working example:

@startmindmap
<style>
mindmapDiagram {
    boxless {
        FontColor darkgreen
        FontSize 30
    }
}
</style>
*_ root
** a1
***_ a2
**_ b1
@endmindmap

Th.

Hello X.,

Thanks for your report.
That is now fixed by the V1.2025.1.
