The issue here is that your TOML isn't correct.

[[start]] (note the double brackets) declares that start is an array and defines the first element of it.

You then put [start.name_map] (single brackets) which treats start as an object (presumably overwriting the array) and sets the name_map property on that object.

You should instead use [[start.name_map]] and that will set the name_map key on the same array element.

Can you share your updated config where you are having the issue with margin please?

In future, could you also please use the Q&A feature in discussions for configuration help, rather than creating bug issues unless you're positive it's a replicable issue? (Happy to continue this one here).

Closing this as I've not heard anything for a couple of months. If you're still having issues let me know and I'll re-open.
