1511514 - getClientRects()/getBoundingClientRect() returns incorrect results for elemnts inside <clipPath>

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: SVG, defect, P3)

Description

[Aaron Muir Hamilton]

Attachment: firefox-soiling-itself.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I ran getClientRects()/getBoundingClientRect() on a <circle> element inside a <clipPath> element in an SVG.


Actual results:

Instead of the correct result, calls to these methods returned a DOMRect with zero width and height, and positioned at the top left corner of the SVG root.


Expected results:

The actual position, height, and width of the <circle> should be returned in the resulting DOMRect.

I cannot confirm this issue as do not understand the application and use of these code bits and secondly because the attachment seems to show similar errors on both Firefox and Chrome browsers (in Web Console).
I will set this issue's component as (Core) Layout: Texts and Fonts as it seems to be related to that and hope it will get picked up by a developer who will offer a more trustworthy evaluation.

Thank you for your contribution.

This sounds more like an SVG issue; it's not about Text & Fonts AFAICS.
