User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0 Build ID: 20120731030541 Steps to reproduce: Made a simple test page with an SVG element within it. The SVG element does *not* specify a height or width attribute. Actual results: SVG element rendered with what looks like a default size of width=300, height=150. Expected results: The SVG element should have rendered fully taking into account its child elements.
The incorrect rendering happens on most recent Nightly and also latest stable(14.x).

Adding width="100%" and height="100%" attributes to the SVG element makes it render correctly in both nightly and stable. Stable renders the rect incorrectly, but that is another bug which *has* been fixed in nightly(possibly earlier). I don't know where this 300x150 size comes from (probably a default for some elements), but it should not be applied to an SVG element as per the spec which says 100% must be used if width or height is not specified. Earliest working draft I could find that has the document structure section with these attributes (width, height): http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-SVG11-20020215/struct.html#SVGElementWidthAttribute Current recommendation: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#SVGElementWidthAttribute Iceweasel 10.x on a debian machine renders this html file *correctly*.

Maybe http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#inline-replaced-height
Good find Alice; the 300x150 might be from there. But the SVG spec clearly states that width and height attributes should have the value "100%" if not specified for the svg element. Also mentioned here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/SVG/Attribute/width I do not know the specifics of when CSS is applied, but surely the width and height should not have a computed value of "auto".

The SVG 1.1 spec used to say things that were self-contradictory and 1.2 changed behavior from that to basically make the 100% values of width and height do nothing. See bug 611099 and the spec links there. Per the 1.2 spec as it stands, the computed width and height should in fact have computed value "auto" in this case. That was discovered to not be compatible with the web, and the behavior was changed in bug 668163 such that omitting width and height is not equivalent to explicitly saying width="100%" height="100%". I believe there is a pending spec issue on that. Jonathan, can you confirm? In any case, this is a duplicate of bug 736431, I believe....
