40481 2010-06-11 10:42:37 -0700 Consider adding support for :first-letter and :first-line in SVG 2022-07-15 14:51:56 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit SVG 528+ (Nightly build) All All RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED http://jsfiddle.net/rLCLj/ P3 Normal --- 1 inferno webkit-unassigned bfulgham ddkilzer hyatt krit schenney zimmermann oldest_to_newest 236898 0 inferno 2010-06-11 10:42:37 -0700 There was no seperate implementation of :first-letter and :first-line for SVG, which is why we had crashes and incorrect layouts when those pseudo classes were used for text elements in SVG. As a result, we disabled them in security bug - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40031. Other browsers such as firefox, opera, (svg implementation batik) don't support it. However, after chatting with Dave, Maciej, we should consider writing these features. 237237 1 krit 2010-06-11 22:57:39 -0700 :first-line doesn't make sense for texts in SVG. We don't have block level elements like paragraph in SVG. So :first-line would always be true on texts. Are there other application areas for this pseudo element? 241915 2 inferno 2010-06-23 10:21:24 -0700 How about :first-letter, does that apply to SVG ? 241929 3 krit 2010-06-23 10:37:03 -0700 (In reply to comment #2) > How about :first-letter, does that apply to SVG ? Yea, I think so. 241963 4 inferno 2010-06-23 11:25:33 -0700 cut-copy-paste from 40031 In an SVG user agent that supports CSS style sheets, the following facilities from [CSS2] must be supported: --------- * CSS2's dynamic pseudo-classes :hover, :active and :focus and pseudo-classes :first-child, :visited, :link and :lang. The remaining CSS2 pseudo-classes, including those having to do with generated content, are not part of the SVG language definition. (Note: an SVG element gains focus when it is selected. See Text selection.) --------- Is it part of SVG specification or a requirement ? 538087 5 schenney 2012-01-18 12:51:13 -0800 Adding myself to CC list. 1008544 6 krit 2014-05-12 05:49:21 -0700 I attached a test case. It does not seem to run in any browser. 1884256 7 bfulgham 2022-07-15 14:51:56 -0700 Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all agree on rendering for this test case. I don't believe there is any remaining compatibility issue.
