<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the quick reply. It turns out there is probably another bug somewhere in my real program that is still causing the recording surface not to end up on the SVG surface, but at least this workaround should help me move forward.<div>I don't have a minimal example, but I have some suspicion that the same issue also affects the X11 surface (or again it could be due to the "other", still unknown issue).</div><div>In any case, should I report this to the cairo bug tracker, or is the previous email enough?</div><div>Antony</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">2017-10-04 5:19 GMT-07:00 Adrian Johnson <<a href="mailto:ajohnson@redneon.com" target="_blank">ajohnson@redneon.com</a>>: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Seems to be a bug with unbounded recording surfaces and SVG.
