Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 406312

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[SamyDagan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Using SVG scripting, version 2 animates startOffset of textPath. Version 3 beta 1 does not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Animate by scripting startOffset of textPath.
2.Run with version2 of Firefox. It works. 
3.Run with version 3 beta 1. It does not.
Actual Results:  
The textPath remains motionless with version 3 beta 1. Applying alert(); the values of startOffset change as expected, but this is not seen on the screen. No errors are issued. 

Expected Results:  
See above.

The same bug occurs with windows XP system on a PC, which I reported previously as bug 406312. Since the version 2 of Firefox does not have this problem, I hope that it will be not difficult to fix the problem.

Attachment: This is a svg file with an example of animated textPath.

Running the attachment with Firefox version 2 and with Firefox version 3 beta 1, shows the different behaviour.
