Created attachment 32626 [details] test case html file. When embedding an SVG image in an HTML <object> and scaling the SVG image so that it does not clip (the default behaviour), the images transparent areas should be filled with the background-color of the HTML area into which the image is embedded. Using Safari 4.0.2 the transparent areas of the image are coloured white. Using Safari 4.0.1, Safari 3, and Firefox 3 the transparent areas are coloured using the defined background-color so this is a recent change in webkit. I've attached a test case in two parts: HTML file that embeds a SVG file so that there are transparent areas. To reproduce: 1) download the test files. 2) open index.html. The border should be filled with the lightgreen background-color but in Safari 4.0.2 will be white.
