Can't edit or create new images using Chrome on Windows 10 about mermaid-gdocs

[mooreds]

Hmmm. I tried it in another browser (MS Edge, Version 112.0.1722.64 (Official build) (64-bit)) and it failed with

ScriptError: Authorization is required to perform that action.

But then I removed all my google accounts on Edge (had 2) and then signed in again with only one account and it worked. Chrome had multiple accounts too (both today when it failed and a few weeks ago when the diagramming plugin worked). The Macos chrome browser had only one account set up when I tested it.

So perhaps the issue is when a user has multiple Google accounts?

@mooreds it seems like this is the issue indeed, a problem with the google docs API with multiple users logged in : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71982714/exception-action-not-allowed-when-using-documentapp-getactivedocument

For future readers of this issue, this is a bug in Google Docs from 2017, not sure it will ever be fixed: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69270374?pli=1
