Hi all, when I use small SVG-polyline-elements with onmouseover-events the near horizontal polylines do not fires the onmouseover-event dependably. When the angle of a polyline is greater (20 degree +) the onmouseover-event ist more dependably. look here for an example In this example there are a lot of polylines, all elements are connected with onmouseover and onmouseout-events to switch the color from black to red. If I move the mouse on a near horizontal polyline bidirectional (the top of the mouse is always on the polyline) the polyline flickers, this means the events fires multiple. When I change the size of the elements to a greater value the events are more dependably, but a bigger size is not desired. When I want to analyze the elements with the developer-tools or firebug near horizontal elements cannot access.

Anyone an idea? Thanks, Olaf
