I don't know what to suggest. This segmentation issue is more of a problem for this feature than for some other contexts, due to the way the visual placement behaves. Some options that come to mind are: 1. Add a note to say that automatically positioning parts of a text string in this way is likely to be problematic for complex scripts, and authors may not be able to use this feature effectively much of the time for those scripts. That doesn't seem a very satisfactory solution for users. 2. Change the syntax, so that the string in the text element becomes a list, where the content author groups things together as they want, rather than trying to figure things out automatically. That's probably not a welcome change to the spec. 3. Do some more in-depth research around the segmentation process across various scripts to understand whether there is a standard set of rules that can be applied here so that things just work (Edge seems to get close already, but we need to do further testing, and find out what their secret sauce is.) This could take a while. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/537#issuecomment-442809708 using your GitHub account
