91498 2012-07-17 06:18:27 -0700 SVG <use> elements not displayed in Chrome (Safari is OK) 2012-07-17 16:46:17 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit SVG 528+ (Nightly build) All All RESOLVED DUPLICATE 87504 http://www.bobwyttenbach.com/chromeuse.html P2 Major --- 0 rw12 webkit-unassigned pdr zimmermann oldest_to_newest 671222 0 rw12 2012-07-17 06:18:27 -0700 Chrome does not display <use> elements in inline svg. The same svg is displayed correctly when linked through an <object> tag. Here is a simple test case (code below or view it at http://www.bobwyttenbach.com/chromeuse.html): <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Chrome use-tag bug?</title> </head> <body> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="200px" height="200px" viewBox="0 0 200 200"> <defs> <g id="test1"> <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="50" fill="red"/> </g> </defs> <g> <rect x="0.5" y="0.5" width="199" height="199" stroke="black" fill="none"/> <use xlink:href="#test1" x="0" y="0"/> </g> </svg> <p>Above is inline svg with a use tag; below is the same svg linked through an object tag. Below is correct.</p> <object data="chromeuse.svg" width="200" height="200"></object> </body> </html> The red circle does not appear in the inline svg but does appear when the same svg is linked through an object tag. Following someone's suggestion, I wrapped the circle in <symbol> tags (and moved id="test1" into the symbol tag). It made no difference. Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer 9 all display the inline svg correctly. Tested with Chrome Version 20.0.1132.57 in both Mac OS 10.7.4 and Windows 7 (in VMWare Fusion). Webkit 536.11. (Safari WebKit 534.57.2 does not have this bug.) 671749 1 pdr 2012-07-17 16:46:17 -0700 Marking as a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87504 (Again, thank you for reporting this!
