I need to capture pointer events click
and mousemove
on shapes that are outside the contents box defined via <SVG>
width/height, rendered via overflow: visible
.
In this example, the circle
is rendered properly, and current Chrome, FireFox and IE11 do capture pointer events on the overflowing part, whether or not there's e.g. padding
. However, on Safari 10.0.1 OS X, pointer events are not registered, even when I use padding
, border
, and/or margin
, no matter which ones of the possible 8 permutations.
Safari only emits click if it's inside the <SVG>
contents block: https://jsfiddle.net/monfera/n1qgd5h4/5/
Is there a way of listening to pointer events that are in the overflow area? I haven't checked yet if Safari is non-compliant (bug) or the other browsers are lax.
I can resort to the workaround of making a larger <SVG>
element but it would invalidate much of the benefit of the box model and the CSS overflow
, leading to manually redoing in JS what the browser should do.
