IE11 Text visible on screen

[digitaljohn]

It appears when used inside IE11 the text element you use for measuring text size remains visible on the page, e.g.

My temporary fix is just setting the style, e.g.

#__react_svg_text_measurement_id{
  opacity: 0;
}

This element should be removed after measurement is complete?

Hi @digitaljohn, thanks for checking out the project. It is intentional to leave the element for performance reasons (adding/removing dom elements can get expensive).

A few years ago I migrated this project to vx as @vx/text (which I help maintain) and can be installed individually. It has had numerous improvements since moving there, including recent Typescript support. I just looked and we also render the element offscreen using absolute positions which should remedy your issue.

You're welcome to continue to use this project, but you'd probably be better off using @vx/text since all maintenance will be done there.
