293004 - SVG elements within an <a> element are not rendered (in latest Firefox builds)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Steffan Corley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504 Firefox/1.0+

The contents of any <a> element in an SVG page are not rendered by the latest
Windows Firefox builds.  I do not know when the problem started, but the SVG
project page says that the <a> element is supported.

I suspect that the problem could be that svgBindings.xml is not being included
by the build process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create SVG page containing content within an <a> element
2. Load page in Firefox

Actual Results:  
Content within <a> element is not displayed

Expected Results:  
Content within <a> element should be displayed

I am using the same version, installed from the .exe installer on ftp.mozilla.org.
Only non-default option in installing it was to put it in a different directory
(as I also have 1.03 installed).
I haven't previously installed any nightlies.

This isn't enough... you need to register the chrome://content/svg/ package
also, probably around here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/installer/windows/browser.jst#544

Is there any particularly good reason why we're creating a new chrome JAR and
package, instead of shipping this file at chrome://global/content/svg/ or
somesuch? I would definitely prefer that solution.

Instead of (../../layout) use (/layout)
