Section view of solids displays like surfaces

New to Onshape but 20 year proe user, and going through the tutorials now. PS, I'm loving it thus far...

When I create a section view of a solid, it looks like its a section of a surface. I'm on an M1 Mac with Safari. The same happens on any part I make, and also any part from the public gallery that I open. Thanks for any insight on how to correct the visibility. Please see attached screenshot.

    I just checked on mine which is: Intel Mac, MacOS 10.15.7 (prior version), Safari 14.0.2 (latest) = incorrect section

    We are aware of this issue (caused by a change in the Safari graphics implementation) and have submitted a bug report to Apple, so it should be fixed in Safari 14.1

    It's an issue with the latest Safari on M1 - works fine with Chrome.

    Thanks for the info. I just did some further testing:

    M1 Mac, MacOS 11.1 (latest), Safari 14.0.2 (latest) = incorrect section
    M1 Mac, MacOS 11.1 (latest), Firefox 84.0.1 (latest and optimized for M1) = correct section
    Intel Mac, MacOS 11.1 (latest), Safari 14.0.2 (latest) = incorrect section
    Intel Mac, MacOS 11.1 (latest), Firefox 84.0.1 (latest) = correct section
    Intel Mac, MacOS 10.15.7 (prior version), Safari 14.0.2 (latest) = incorrect section.

    Conclusion: Safari is the issue. Issue persists on Safari only, for both M1 and Intel Mac, and both current and prior version of MacOS. Firefox works on both Intel and M1 Mac ok.

    Is this something I should raise a bug report with Onshape? Or its Apple's issue? Thanks!
