Created attachment 379146 [details] svg-filter-href Open the attached test case. Result: One green rectangle. Expected: Two green rectangles. The first rectangle is a <rect> element with a filter whose id is "filter". This filter is drawn correctly. The second rectangle is a <rect> element also but with a chained filter. The chained filter is defined as "<filter id="chained" href="#filter"/>". This chained filter does not work as expected.

Just to update - Safari 16.2, STP161 and Chrome Canary 111 all show just one green rectangle while only Firefox Nightly 111 show 'two' green rectangle. Thanks!

The code of the testcase is <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <filter id="filter"> <feFlood flood-color="green"/> <feComposite in2="SourceAlpha" operator="atop"/> </filter> <filter id="chained" href="#filter"/> <rect x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" filter="url(#filter)"/> <rect x="120" y="10" width="100" height="100" filter="url(#chained)"/> </svg> The filter spec is now at https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/ As mentioned in https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/single-page.html#changes-filters The filter element https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/#FilterElement href is not defined as an attribute on this element. Ha but the DOM interface indicates https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/#InterfaceSVGFilterElement SVGFilterElement includes SVGURIReference; which is itself: interface mixin SVGURIReference { [SameObject] readonly attribute SVGAnimatedString href; }; https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/types.html#InterfaceSVGURIReference
