svg element doesn't have any visual selection boundary when selected

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • insert an <svg> element in any other element that allows it by the SVG standard (like in the root svg)
  • select the <svg> element
  • look at it in the drawing field

What happened?

There's no visual selection boundary when the <svg> element is selected either by the XML editor or by clicking on it in the drawing field.

What should have happened?

The <svg> element should have a visual selection boundary like the <g> element. It should fit the scale, skewness and rotation of the <svg> element.

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.0beta1
  • Operating System: Windows
  • Operating System version: 7, 32-bit
