Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Steps to reproduce:

Made an SVG that uses a gradient for a fill, referenced it with a url(#bg) and then disabled page styles. The gradient disappears and the object is left in a black state.
I expect at this point the url() is invalid, yet it doesn’t use the fallback colour following the url()



Expected results:

The image is using fill="url(#bg) #ff5500", looking through the SVG spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#SpecifyingPaint suggests if url(#bg) is not valid, it should use the paint method following the url().

However, if I put fill="url(#missing) #ff5500" it both works in page styles enabled and disabled states. So url(#bg) is not invalid, yet it isn’t being used…

You've defined the colours in the linear gradient via a style rather than an attribute. Since styles are ignored your stop colours are all black. So the gradient is applied. If you define the stop colours as attributes, the gradient will work even with page styles disabled.

e.g. <stop offset="0" stop-color="#ff8800"/>
