Wrong position for tspan elements in Chrome

[louisameline]

Hello,

this is not an issue with your library, but an issue in Chrome: the coordinates are wrong for tspan, as getBBox returns the coordinates of the containing text element instead. Reported to the Chromium team here:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=349835&q=tspan%20bbox&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified

There seems to be a workaround, using other techniques. I thought I'd just mention it in case you wanted to include a fix for that in your library, but it's entirely up to you :) Thank you.

FYI, it's fixed in Chromium 84.

Safari does have the issue though, filed a bug report here.

This plugin is obsolte with svg.js v3 (I think even in 2.x??). Just use rbox().
And yes, chrome only recently fixed this. I stumbled across exactly that issue a week ago because the fix is not in out in the wild yet
