Unexpected rendering of message arrows in sequence diagrams

[Azam Ra]

Description

There is a feature of destroying participant/actor objects, when designing sequence diagrams in mermaid. It's defined in mermaid, that destroy action should associate with a destroying message after its declaration.

However, if you leave the contents of the destroying message empty; then the previous message arrow will point not to the lifeline of the participant/actor object being destroyed, but to the participant/actor object itself:
[Picture1]

Furthermore, if the previous message arrow was associated with create action (which is pretty unrealistic, but still...), then it causes even more chaos:
[Picture2]

On the other hand, if you fill contents of the destroying message:

• in case of preceeding message being associated to a create action, rendered participant/actor objects will not overlap;

• in other cases, rendered message arrow will point to the lifeline of participant/actor object, being destroyed.

Steps to reproduce

Code to recreate the pictures provided in the description:
[Picture1]:

sequenceDiagram
    participant p1

    create participant p2
    p1 ->> p2: Instantiate p2

    p2 -->> p1: Time has passed

    destroy p2
    p1 -x p2: 

[Picture2]:

sequenceDiagram
    participant p1

    create participant p2
    p1 ->> p2: Instantiate p2

    destroy p2
    p1 -x p2: 

[Picture3]:

sequenceDiagram
    participant p1

    create participant p2
    p1 ->> p2: Instantiate p2

    p2 -->> p1: Time has passed

    destroy p2
    p1 -x p2: .

[Picture4]:

sequenceDiagram
    participant p1

    create participant p2
    p1 ->> p2: Instantiate p2

    destroy p2
    p1 -x p2: .
