Summary:  When loading SVG images in Safari, Safari does not show scroll bars for the image if it extends beyond the bounds of the window in which it is loaded.


Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Open Safari 3.0.2 beta.

2.  In a new window, go to the URL located at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Timeline_of_web_browsers.svg  .  This is an SVG image file that is very large.

3.  If necessary, resize the window so that the bounds of the image extend beyond the bounds of the window in which it is loaded.  Note that scroll bars do not appear in the Safari window, despite them being necessary if you want to view the timeline image into the 2000s or down to view other elements in the timeline.

Expected Results:  When an image loaded in a Safari window is larger than the window size, I expect scroll bars to appear to allow me to move around the image, no matter the file format of the image being viewed.


Actual Results:  SVG files loaded into a Safari window do not show scroll bars when they are larger than the window size.

From bug 11225 comment 5:

I asked Maciej, and he said:

"I think it's actually required by the SVG spec that the root SVG element is
overflow:hidden and authors can't override this. I think this is a silly rule
but it might be too late to change it in the SVG spec."

This is the same as bug 11225.  Basically every other browser "violates" the spec by showing scroll bars... and we should too.
