949203 - Animated SVG in chrome doesn't update

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

Animated SVGs used inside the chrome don't seem to repaint correctly.

Test case:
1. Install the attached Firebug version
2. Open Firebug on https://getfirebug.com/tests/manual/console/joes-original/test.html
3. Enable and switch to Firebug's Script panel
4. Reload the page
5. Click the Break On Next button (the orange 'pause' icon) at the upper left of the panel

=> The icon should now be animated, though it isn't unless a repaint is triggered, e.g. by resizing the Firebug frame.

FWIW the icon is applied via the CSS property list-style-image.

Sorry that I don't have a smaller test case. If it's required, I'll try to get a smaller one.

This issue looks very similar to bug 907503. I've tested this with Firefox 26.0 and Nightly (2013-12-11).

Did it work in earlier versions of Firefox?

Comment 3

Yes, at least in Firefox 23.0. I didn't test other versions yet, though.

A regression range possibly via moz-regression would be useful.

This problem can still be reproduced using Firefox 31.0a1 (2014-04-26) + Firebug 2.0b3 on Win8.1. I also tested this on Ubuntu 14.04 and OS X 10.8 with the same result.
Is there any more info you need from me?

Is this still an issue given that bug 907503 is now fixed? 

Even allowing unsafe add-ons I can't get the attached xpi to do anything anymore.

Here's an updated version of Firebug. Bug 907503 didn't fix it. I am in the hope bug 935888 will finally fix it, though I need to wait for tomorrow's Nightly to evaluate it.

Here's a simple test extension adding a toolbar button with an animated SVG. Though it's added through an <image> tag, not CSS. I don't know if that makes any difference.

Nightly 2016-07-01 did fix it. Yay!
