User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/600.3.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.3 Safari/600.3.18 Steps to reproduce: Testcase located here: http://jsfiddle.net/k9rtm57v/ Issue happens in Firefox (I checked against 31.4 and 35.0.1). Behaviour is correct is other browsers like Chrome. To verify proper behaviour, run the jsfiddle in Chrome of Safari. When an svg text node contains RIGHT-TO-LEFT-EMBEDDING character (&#8235), and the node has a transform applied, the text does not render correctly. When a text-anchor : middle attribute is also specified, the rendering is even weirder. If I remove the rtl embedding character and add a direction=rtl to the text node, the rendering is correct. Actual results: See http://jsfiddle.net/k9rtm57v/ For an SVG text node: <text text-anchor="middle">&#8235;Test!&#8236;</text> Firefox renders the string as ! <spaces...> Test with the '!' character seemingly anchored to the left. Expected results: See http://jsfiddle.net/k9rtm57v/ in Chrome (or Safari) I expected the SVG text node <text text-anchor="middle">&#8235;Test!&#8236;</text> to render as !Test anchored in the middle.
