455185 - Zooming in to SVG does not display horizontal scrollbar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

When you zoom in to a SVG file, e.g. the tiger in the URL, the vertical scrollbar appears when appropriate, but the horizontal one never appears.  Both should be showing up as appropriate, to allow for horizontal scrolling in the document.

I don't think the horizontal scrollbar should appear with this example. It has a height of 800 and a width of 100% so the width should never exceed the viewport bounds. Instead the drawing should distort keeping the width constant with the height increasing as you zoom. The drawing currently scales evenly so that is the bug.

If you reduce the width of the browser, you still get no scrollbars.

The image should scale depending on how the vectors are defined, so often horizontal scrollbars are needed.

That is the correct behaviour.

Not sure I understand what you're getting at. The image should scale depending how the height, width and preserveAspectRatio are defined.

That's generally the case with bugs unless they get a patch.
