Scrolling SVG images doesn't work #5

For instance, on load of this URL https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/SVG_example_markup_grid.svg the following error is reported:

Error in response to storage.get: TypeError: Cannot read property 'setProperty' of undefined
    at Object.callback (chrome-extension://occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan/data/AutoScroll.js:165:14)
    at chrome-extension://occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan/data/AutoScroll.js:4:22

OTOH, scrolling PNG images seems to work just fine.

Thanks for reporting this.

It seems that it's rather difficult to display HTML nodes inside of SVG.

So, I might not be able to fix this.

I just released version 4.6 of AutoScroll, which adds in partial support for SVG.

It is now possible to scroll SVG documents.

However, the circular icon does not show up.

The reason is because SVG does not allow for positioning elements absolutely or in fixed position.
