1223645 - CSS element type selector does not match SVG symbol element

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 265894

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Yonathan Randolph]

Attachment: css-symbol-selector-test.svg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2547.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

View an SVG document containing a symbol that is styled by a statement whose selector contains the type selector “symbol”.

Usually, you only want to style a symbol in order to override the default clipping caused by overflow: clip in the user-agent style sheet[1].

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/styling.html#UAStyleSheet


Actual results:

The CSS rule “overflow: visible” did not apply to the symbol matched by the type selector “symbol”.


Expected results:

The CSS rule “overflow: visible” should apply to the symbol matched by the type selector “symbol”.

This is a fairly minor bug since the selector “#square” works even though “symbol#square” doesn’t.

I don't think this is a straightforward duplicate; I think it's different.  (More related to bug 1268431, but not the same.)
