Bug 14375 – Text misrender, no scroll bars in large SVG

• Component: SVG
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Alexander Strange]

This timeline of web browsers, from Wikipedia, misrenders badly in Safari (3.0 and nightly).
Also, no scroll bars appear, though the image is larger than the window.

Firefox (2.0.0.4 Intel OS X) misrenders differently, but only after scrolling. It's more correct, so a screenshot's attached.

The file probably isn't valid.

First of all thank you for testing Safari+SVG!
As you can see from the screenshot I attached, we are doing a much better job currently with this svg file. Basically only the scrollbars lack, and we have a separate bug for that. Unfortunately this current code is a bit hard to build, there are no nightlies for it and the build instructions are a bit different. Hopefully we can rectify it and at least provide nightlies. I think the bug report is still valid though, until the nightlies can render it correctly. What do you think? Hopefully this clears things up...
Cheers,

Rob.

So I think the remaining issues are covered by bug 12448 and bug 11225.

I'd like to mark this as a duplicate of bug 11225.

You can see for yourself using the brand-new feature-branch nightlies.  I expect that the feature branch code will be rolled into trunk sometime after Leopard ships (which last I remember Apple announcing was sometime in October).  So trunk should have these fixes by mid november I figure.

If you'd like to test for yourself before then, please try:
