Mouse events do not occur when clip-path (SVG) property is set
Hi,
I think i have found bug in Firefox 17:
If SVG shape has set clip-path property mouse events do not occur / fire. It happens only for Firefox 17 (Windows and Mac) Following code works in Firefox 16, Chrome IE9.
See: More system details for code
Thanks for any help

I don't know your particular case, but I learned that my problem was due to the presence of the 'base' tag. Making the clip-path attribute use a full URL, with #sufffix, resolves the problem. However, this breaks for IE9, so people would have to do it conditionally.
And another condition is that this problem doesn't apply to all svg elements, at least not 'circle's. It does apply to 'rect's.
A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
Works in Firefox trunk (21) and although I haven't tested it I think this is fixed in Firefox 19.
