Call for testing: patterns

Yesterday, support for <pattern> was checked into the trunk (bug 294517).

If you could grab a Firefox trunk nightly and test out our pattern support, we'd greatly appreciate it. Please file a bug or comment on this entry if you have encounter bugs. Thanks.

As a sidenote, the Mozilla SVG implementation status information has been updated for the trunk (Firefox 2.0 development) and branch (Firefox 1.5 development).

This testcase seems to render incorrectly. I'm not sure exactly what is causing it, but to me it looks like both antialiasing and positioning are a bit off.

I'm seeing a grid of white dots that shouldn't be there on the pattern in that testcase above, and the first time I viewed it there were pink horizontal lines across it.
Then I opened the svg in a separate tab and resized it a bit, and that caused the patterns on the text to display as garbage. If you resize it below a certain size the rectangles become corrupted too.

We've seen cases of garbage being displayed when using cairo (linux and mac), and think that's probably a problem in the version of cairo we're using.

On GDI+ we have a different problem where the pattern doesn't adjust for changes in the CTM, which is probably a problem on our end.
