svg.disabled= true cripple uBlock origin "Block this element" feature

[MikeZeDev]

Tested on a fresh FF profile with a fresh uBO install.

When i right click on a webpage and click on "Block this element" this setting prevent the pink overlay used for selection to be displayed.

I know many settings may break some websites or addons features and i am not complaining, nor requesting a "fix". I just let people know by filling this issue

Should i contact gorhill?

If you turn it to true, does the Element picker work?

[MikeZeDev]

Yes. I found the culprit was this setting by using dichotomy.
The only setting left in my "test" user.js was this one.

svg.enabled = false there is no pink overlay (the other window still works as intended)
svg.enabled = true, no problems

For the record : i was using an old user.js version, from here, until today i had no problems. I manually merged the changes from the last commit and i saw that problem. It should definitely comes from a "new" setting, and this one was indeed "new" for me

The highlight is javascript and not SVG.

[MikeZeDev]

Ikr. But still : disabling "svg" cause the mentioned problem.

And btw i was wrong. the actual setting is

svg.disabled not enabled.

Set it to true caused the problem, false is ok.

and btw if you read carefully the mentionned JS fonction :

svgOcean.setAttribute('d', ocean.join(''));
svgIslands.setAttribute('d', islands.join('') || 'M0 0');

Bingo, svg.. Its just a variable name but i mean..it was chosen on purpose i guess

Cross-reference to the SVG PR: #276
