[katex] Strange behavior: need to execute markdown cell twice

I'm having a strange issue with katex in jupyter lab. I need to run a cell twice for the katex to render. The first time, I get the latex literals in markdown. Then I just enter editing mode for the cell again, re-run the cell immediately (without making edits) and the latex renders properly. Any ideas?

Same here. Do you solved it? I've installed @jupyterlab/katex-extension and @jupyterlab/mathjax3-extension, I don't know if it could be a problem (in fact, I don't know how to switch between the renderers).

Nope, still having this issue
