The coming of SVG

[Bleiler, Timothy]

I’ve been testing this a little and I’ve run into some files that don’t render correctly. 

I’ve attached a simple example I found on the internet  that contains this info about how it was created - Generator: Adobe Illustrator 22.0.1, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0).  

When I tried to display this in the image control as described, I get just an outline of the drawing filled black. I’m using Mac OS with Livecode 9.0.0 (dp 11)

Have I missed a critical part of the process or should this be filed as a bug?
