Do we know why this is happening? I would expect that setting the color prop to transparent would make the arrow "invisible."

I'm guessing the underlying SVG has some color value hard-coded and is "visible" because the stroke or fill or whatever is set to the correct color.

I think the right approach here might be looking at selection.json and seeing if there are any hard-coded values for the right-angle-arrow SVG.

Yeah, the color is set to currentColor which is changed in that commit. I'm just setting the color which was transparent before to transparent.

I searched through the commit for color and SWMansionIcon and currentColor and transparent and couldn't find any relevant changes? Could you point out file/line number, I'm probably missing something

Looks like clearing attrs (selection.js:939) for the right-angle-arrow icon fixes the issue:

Before:

After:

lets tuple to avoid churn. I don't think that's the right solution.

@benschac has been struggling to figure out a solution to the SVG arrow for quite some time... at this point, would really appreciate if @atul could step in and make sure Ben is able to unblock himself ASAP. Whatever is necessary (eg. a Tuple session), let's get that done ASAP so @benschac can land a solution to this issue. (Ideally in the future @benschac can handle this stuff fully independently)

To be clear, this isn't an endorsement of any of @atul's proposals/analysis above – just a reflection that this need to be unblocked ASAP, and it looks like @atul's direct involvement is necessary at a deeper level to make that happen

Closing in favor of D3843
