SVG exhibits double-text-selection behavior

Try selecting the explanation text in this example SVG:
http://svg-whiz.com/svg/HideShow.svg

You'll see that the text is selected *twice* by two separate selection regions.  Very strange.  It makes the text very difficult to read during selection.

I'm not sure if this falls under "editing" or "SVG"

Here is another very strange behavior with text selection:

In this very simple example http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/manipulating_svg_with_dom_ecmascript/basic_doc_tree.svg
if you double click on the rectangle, portions of the text in if you click further, the whole text seems to be selected, even if the mouse cursor does not hit the text element.

This patch works quite well, also with transformed text, just may have a slight issue with overlapping boxes.
Cheers,

in SVGInlineTextBox you should indent the class definition.  Apparently this is expected in header files now :-/

This should only effect pixelresults of selection tests in svg
