InkScape displays empty tooltip border in exported SVG

[hansgru]

When exporting a Waterfall Diagram as SVG, the result will contain also a square with rounded corners in the left side that do not belongs to the chart (It looks like the shadow from the export button?)

You can see this in your own examples:

Does this apply to a specific browser? I failed to reproduce this in Chrome, Firefox, IE8 and IE9. A screenshot and perhaps also the SVG file would be helpful.

Using your example above, I get with FF 24 the following SVG (opened with Inkscape):

The square on the upper left side should not be rendered there.

The exported SVG is in the following Gist: https://gist.github.com/hansgru/6780156

I'm getting this on Windows XP, Vista and Win 8 machines with the most actual FF.

regards.

The issue appears to be an InkScape bug rather than Highcharts. It applies to SVG exports from any browser, but only when viewed in InkScape. The rectangle is the tooltip border and shadow. Although the tooltip group element has visibility:hidden set, InkScape displays it.

Thank you and sorry for not noticing that this is an Inkscape issue (the default SVG viewer on all our computers is Inkscape)

No problem, I noticed that quickly from your screenshot :)
