Hi Team,

Another failing text from Blink's commit:

Test - https://jsfiddle.net/uyh48n62/show

^ Failing in Safari 16.2 while passing in Chrome Canary 111 and Firefox Nightly 110

Blink Commit - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/55ceb3d896e75fbb5d3bb10e12b17b10d297bf27

WebKit Source - https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/rendering/svg/SVGTextQuery.cpp#147

Just wanted raise to fix this.

Thanks!

So this one has pre-requisite bug 120451.

PR - https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/8664

The test still fail and need to add platform specific expectations (if we want to land without pre-requisite) on GTK and Windows.

I am closing my PR but it is something still we need to track and fix.

NOTE - This got reverted because of potential SVG Text optimisation done in Blink but the test case is still interesting, so let's keep this bug open.

I think this blink commit is not right fix since with other SVGTextQuery optimization, this is still not fixed. It is to account for 'RTL' content in SVG.

Could be 'unsigned' (which is not negative) and 'int' (negative) as well thing?

Firefox Nightly 121 and Chrome Canary 120 passes this: https://jsfiddle.net/xfb7mahe/show

Adding 'BrowserCompat'.
