           Summary: Default viewport for SVG documents is rarely useful
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://code.haskell.org/~dons/images/svg/hackage-
                    circo.svg
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SVG
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: kevin at sb.org


In any non-trivial SVG document I've viewed, the default viewport chosen by
Safari is far smaller than is useful. For example, in the following SVG
document, the default viewport shows nothing but white space, and even zooming
out 10 times showed nothing.

WebKit should try to pick a viewport based on the overall size of the SVG
document. A fairly simple way would be to default to displaying the entire
document in the viewport, even this simple change would be far more useful than
the current default.
