1143405 - Background of html and body element are not applied correctly inside foreignObject

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[christoph.burgmer]

Attachment: Background on the HTML element

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150305021524

Steps to reproduce:

Place a HTML document with background set on either the HTML or BODY element inside a SVG's foreignObject element.


Actual results:

The background is only applied for the respective element itself (the size of the HTML/BODY element).


Expected results:

The whole canvas of the SVG should be set to the element's background as following "3.11. Backgrounds of Special Elements" from "CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3" (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#special-backgrounds).

Attachment: Background on the BODY element that should be propagated up

Comment 2

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

foreignObject does not create a root element.

Comment 3

[christoph.burgmer]

I don't understand the argument for marking this issue invalid. 
The specification in http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#special-backgrounds does speak of a root element, but then goes on how HTML's body element's background should propagate nevertheless.
