Description Myles C. Maxfield 2015-01-17 20:45:41 PST 
This test uses x and y glyph positioning.
Comment 1 Myles C. Maxfield 2015-01-17 21:09:38 PST 
svg/text/text-text-06-t.svg is almost the exact same test and fails in the same way.

BreakingContext::handleText():
        if (isSVGText && m_current.offset()) {
            // Force creation of new InlineBoxes for each absolute positioned character (those that start new text chunks).
            if (downcast<RenderSVGInlineText>(renderText).characterStartsNewTextChunk(m_current.offset()))
                ensureCharacterGetsLineBox(m_lineMidpointState, m_current);
        }

If the y="" attribute is a list, then each character gets its own line box, which means that ligatures don't work across them.

Not a regression.
