500174 - pointer-events="all" not registering on non-visible stroke

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Jeff Schiller]

Attachment: Test case revealing the problem.

Attached test case illustrates that Mozilla does not obey the pointer-events="all" for mouse events unless the stroke is actually visible.  This is in contradiction to http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/interact.html#PointerEventsProperty

Opera and WebKit both render this test case properly.

Regression range: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=1949346e6006&tochange=6e39da3e3e20
I see it also in Shiretoko (Windows).
Bug 455984 from mr. O'Callahan is a SVG bug.

Wow, thanks Ria!

Can I know how you are able to narrow the regression range down to a 5-hour window from almost a year ago?

Well, I downloaded trunk hourlies when they came out, here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-win32/ and stored them on unused computers, here are also other kinds of hourlies: http://hourly-archive.localgho.st/hourly-archive2/
and the official nightlies are preserved here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ for a few years.

That Tor knew a thing or two. I think we miss him.
