Hi @datasage, thank you for posting in the community and @aparrish for sharing our details on how to report a bug! I was able to reproduce the behaviour you described and am currently checking with our development team to confirm if this is expected. 

In the meantime, you should be able to use the ‘Crop image’ option found in Google Slides to crop any inserted diagrams to the desired shape. 

I’ll be sure to update this thread with more information as soon as I hear back from them. Please feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions!
