Thanks for sharing.
This bug is already fixed, but if you did a build on the first machine with a version where the bug did exist (specifically in the sagenb package) then it will persist until and unless you delete $SAGE_LOCAL/share/mathjax and reinstall the mathjax package. Otherwise you'll just never see it in the first place. > On Thursday, August 23, 2018 at 10:13:11 PM UTC+2, John H Palmieri wrote: >> >> I found that my Sage documentation directory was taking up 15GB of hard >> drive space, because of a bug (which I think has been fixed, but I don't >> remember where).
