A horizontal line has an empty bounding box and will not be stroked with a pattern. A slightly rotated line will be stroked with a pattern. I think you do not mean rotation, since a transform does not affect the OBB. > > Opera, IE10*, and Chrome* all follow the spec's wording. > Firefox does not, and renders the stroked, horizontal patterned line. > > I think Firefox's implementation is the most intuitive for end users and I would like to propose we align on their interpretation of the spec. > > Testcase: http://philbit.com/emptyPattern.svg > Chrome bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=175779 I do not see a difference across browsers. All browser display a green blue patterned stroke. I think this wording was added because of problems with gradients and calculating the gradient user space. I might be wrong about that.
