975206 - clip-path urls on SVG nodes without corresponding clipPath elements don't fire events

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

Attachment: svg-no-events.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I created an SVG node with a clip-path url attribute that did not match a clipPath node.  In my specific case, there was no clipPath element on the page.  Here's a fiddle which demonstrates the problem:

http://jsfiddle.net/932Um/

Mousing over the black square should fire an event.


Actual results:

The SVG node with the clip-path url attribute did not fire any mouse events such as 'mouseover', 'mouseout', or 'click'.


Expected results:

The SVG node should still fire registered mouse events even if the clip-path url attribute is invalid.  This is how WebKit handles it currently.  It was difficult to figure out why events were not firing and required lots of troubleshooting before the solution was determined.

Simplified the test so it runs more quickly. Code change is the same though.
