774376 - SVG descendant of <defs> don't have bounding box

Status: NEW

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Dirk Schulze]

Attachment: Example of bounding box on ancestor of <defs>

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/534.57.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2

Steps to reproduce:

Added a <rect> as ancestor of a <defs> element and tried to get the bounding box with getBBox() as well as getBoundingClientRect().


Actual results:

getBBox() returns an error.
getBoundingClientRect() returns a rect with no dimension (0,0,0,0)


Expected results:

Both functions should return the bounding box of the rect. See comments on bug 612118 as well.

Sorry, descendant of course.

Jonathan, this is the bug I was telling you about.

Also on Intel Mac OSX. Also confirming that Chrome and Safari (current versions as of 11/29) handle this as expected.

Confirm that Internet Explorer 10 and 11 give the expected result.

Any updates on this? Edge works as expected too.
