Steps to reproduce the problem:
Try to select any text inside a SVG.
Most simple cases can be found here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/text

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
It's no longer possible to properly select text in a SVG.
Usually, only the first character gets "visible selected".
But it's still possible, to copy out, larger pieces. So only the rendering is effected, internally, it seems like the correct characters are selected.

Did this work before? Yes About 4 Month ago?
