Hi, I don't get the svg problem. Is this as it must be?: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Same.png This is how the inkscape shows it to me.
SVG: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Same.svg Firefox have some problem showing it correctly, IE shows it right. Maybe there is problem with Illustrator which don't handle SVG correctly?
