Description
Bug description

The code annotation line highlights overflow on the left.
There is also a misalignment in the highlight between the line and the gutter (gutter is a bit lower).

Steps to reproduce
---
title: "Code annotation line highlight overflow"
format: html
code-annotations: select
---
```{.python}
# Some comment
# to avoid overlapping copy button and annotation marker
import polars as pl # <1>
```
1. This is an annotation.
