Passing 'left-margin' for the AREA parameter in `insert-sliced-image` results in bad looking image. To reproduce from `emacs -q` evaluate the following code example: (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "test") (setq left-margin-width 5) (insert-sliced-image (svg-image (let* ((ph (line-pixel-height)) (size (* 2 ph)) (svg (svg-create size size))) (svg-circle svg ph ph ph :fill "red") svg)) nil 'left-margin 2) (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))) when instead of 'left-margin', nil is passed as value (i.e. the text is inserted in the text area), then everything looks fine.
