I'm not sure when this happened, but it must have been in the last few weeks. Gradient-stroked text, such as is found in: W3C-SVG-1.1/pservers-grad-08-b W3C-SVG-1.1/pservers-grad-11-b no longer works. It used to. Marking this as only a P2 since we've never shipped SVG.
It took a good hour, but I could finally track down to the range: 16288 (broken) - 16284 (working) Only 16286 is svg related: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/16286 Starting to investigate.
Created attachment 11896 [details] Initial patch Fix gradient on stroke of text. Radial & linear gradients both work properly now.
Comment on attachment 11896 [details] Initial patch Looks fine. You can remove the outdated comment about pen vs. fill/stroke, or update it to explain why we need to set both fill & stroke.
