I only noticed this after posting though in Firefox 3.6 when moving my mouse over the frame (since that is how Firefox seems to implement SVG) the image re-renders slightly. In a Firefox 3.7 nightly build it doesn’t do this onmouseover however when I click it does it though it’s a bit more subtle. It seems fine in a semi-late build of Opera 10.5. Safari 4 doesn’t have an issue with the flickering however it doesn’t seem to scale the image down like in the other browsers. So I’m guessing beside the joke this was also intended as a test case as well?
Thanks John – I updated my blog post so that Safari/Chrome display it at the proper size and wrote a test for this in the SVG Torture project: http://svgtorture.googlecode.com/

Hi John,
No this wasn’t actually intended as a test-case, I was just testing SVG-edit.
Weird, I don’t see these issues on OSX. I wonder if it has to do with the tooltip I have when you hover over things.
What do you mean by scaling the image down though? The image should be at a fixed size (450×645) in all browsers that support SVG.

Looks good in FF3.6. Nice slippers Sherlock!
