1370521 - SVG non-scaling-stroke affects more then just the width

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: SVG, defect, P3)

Description

[scharpentier0]

Attachment: svg-non-scaling-stroke-bug.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Build ID: 20170518000419

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make a SVG path with non-scaling-stroke effect 
2. Make the SVG responsive to scale in % with browser size
3. Give SVG a stroke-dashArray and dashOffset
4. Resize the browser to see how the Dash follows the shape scaling of the stroke
5. Remove the non-scaling-stroke effect and compare how the Dash reacts to resizing.


Actual results:

The dashArray and dashOffset scales like the width.


Expected results:

non-scaling-stroke should only affect the stroke width according to this spec https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/painting.html

It shouldn't affect the dash array like it does.

Firefox rendering matches Chrome. Probably something best taken up with w3c if things should change.
