Block tabs appear over SVGs

Post by JDW »

There is an ABP option that says:

Show tabs on Flash and Java

That wording is either incorrect or a bug is at work insofar as hovering your mouse arrow over SVG content on a webpage will make the "Block..." tab appear.

SVGs are commonly used instead of PNG or GIF or JPG graphics on the web, so I would not think a Block tab should appear.

It could be an issue specifically with using the object element for SVGs, which can be done to provide raster fallback for older browsers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4476 ... -svg-files

Both Flash and Java are commonly embedded with the object element, and the object element is almost always used to embed plugin content.
