Describe the bug
When importing a mermaid, the #32 is rendered instead of being a space

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Arrange -> Insert -> Advanced -> Mermaid
2. Paste the following:

sequenceDiagram
actor User
User ->> Main : main
activate Main
Main ->> Foo : doIt
activate Foo
Foo ->> Bar : doIt
activate Bar
Bar ->> Baz : doIt
activate Baz
Baz -->> Bar : #32; 
deactivate Baz
Bar -->> Foo : #32; 
deactivate Bar
Foo -->> Main : #32; 
deactivate Foo
deactivate Main

Expected behavior
The #32 should be rendered as a blank space. Input the same on https://mermaid.live/
