Bug 15131 – hit-testing fails for inline SVGs in certain xhtml documents

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: SVG

[elliottcable]

While xlink-namespace hrefs work in svg documents, they don't work in svg-embedded-in-xhtml documents. Example:
<svg width="300" height="200" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<a xlink:href="http://www.w3.org">
<ellipse cx="150" cy="100" rx="70" ry="50" fill="red"/>
</a>
</svg>

This will work when saved in an SVG file alone, and rendered in WebKit; but it will not work when embedded in an XHTML document and rendered in WebKit.

Expierenced in Safari 3 Beta, as well as nightly version 522.12.1, SVN revision 25328.

Saw that one on my search before posting this d-:

Not duplicate, seeing as that's talking about xlink in other namespaces - this is in a namespace it's already supposed to work in, but it doesn't. So bug, not suggested feature.

This is a hit-testing bug.  Somehow we're probably not respecting tx/ty in RenderSVGRoot correctly (or somehow the inline SVG is being centered w/o us respecting the transform.

Actually, this works fine on feature-branch.  Marking fixed.  feature-branch will hopefully be rolled into trunk by mid november (but I don't work for Apple or have any power to set timelines, so don't quote me on that!)

This still won't work for me in a nightly build as of today:

Am I missing something? 'feature branch'?

"feature-branch" is a branch of the repository where a lot of SVG work has been done.  The standard nightly builds (and Safari 3 Beta releases) are from the "trunk" and do not contain this work.  You can download a nightly of the feature-branch at <http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/mac-feature-branch/1>.

Re-closing since it is fixed on feature-branch.

Thanks! Can't wait for it to show up in Safari itself.
