Confirmed as a bug. Thanks for reporting this!.

Yep, thanks for reporting. This has been a bug ever since we added support for MathJax more than two years ago.

It might worthwhile to look into swapping MathJax for KaTeX.

@etpinard has any testing been done on moving to KaTeX?
etpinard commentedon Jul 28, 2016
@spencerlyon2 No. This is not a high priority for us at the moment,

The following page could be helpful for comparing MathJax v3 and KaTeX:

From my browser, it look like this, maybe escape sequence prefix is needed, for example
'\\alpha'instead of
'\alpha'on Chrome
Also, I find that on firefox, the legend size is not correct. (Maybe I should open another issue.)

Now latex doesn't render in the basic example here: https://plotly.com/javascript/LaTeX/
