<content> not being displayed if too deep.

[dannyfritz]

Is there a limitation to how <content> is inserted into a polymer element's <template>?

If I put the <content> in something like <div><span><content></content></span></div> it doesn't show.

Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/dannyfritz/vqCFw/6/

I'm on Chrome 29.

@peterwmwong The link to the issue is private. I am getting a 404.

I have been told it's been fixed, can you share a link to the fix please?

[peterwmwong]

@yattias no idea man, its been 2 years and they rewrote Polymer since I commented on this issue.

[dannyfritz]

Yeah, I have no idea what the current status is too.

This is long fixed. The shadow DOM bug isn't private; the link is broken because the polyfills were combined into to a single repo and moved to https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs.

I took a look at the list of closed issues that mentioned "content" and nothing's leaping out at me.

AFAIKT, the original jsfiddle listed above now works fine.

And here's a version of the original bug repro in modern polymer, which also doesn't show the described symptoms:

So, short answer—bug fixed in 2013. If you're seeing something that you think is the same problem, it probably isn't.
