Transparency with mergePaths

[joeyhoer]

mergePaths merges transparent paths, which leads to undesirable results. the easy solution is to disable the plugin, but a more permanent solution would be to detect if a path is transparent and exclude it from mergePaths. For an even more complete solution, use transparency and stacking order to determine if a path is visible or eligible from mergePaths.

It's a known issue with mergePaths plugin. It should check overlapping, but it's not that simple problem. You can disable it (svgo --disable=mergePaths) for a temporary solution.
