(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Bas Bieling]

Attachment: text_on_line.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150305021524

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open the attached files in Firefox. 



Actual results:

Both files display in different ways. The only difference is the additional whitespace in front of the text in text_on_line.svg.


Expected results:

text_on_line.svg should be displaying in the same way as text_on_line-padded.svg

The x attribute does not apply to textPath elements. Adding padding gives the x attribute whitespace in the text element and the x then applies to the whitespace character.
