When will Canvas fix the issue with math equation rendering?

I work with the Canvas support team at Oklahoma State University. We have had an issue crop up recently, which was brought to our attention by some professors in the math department, related to the way Canvas renders equations. I am attaching three screenshots that were shared with us for reference. The issue seems to be that when an equation is rendered, a lot of somewhat garbled text shows up next to it. I believe this issue has been raised before, as per these Community posts:

I'm wondering when we can expect a fix for this or, if nothing else, I'd like to reassure our Math Department faculty that Canvas is aware of the problem and actively investigating a solution.

Thank you!
