 **Issue:**
 We detected wrong rendered SVG Text elements in Google Chrome 96. Our svg
 map solution is embedded in a wordpress based website of our client.
 We detected moving "shop numbers" in our map solution, if the map is
 embedded in the wordpress website.
 As soon as the user changes the zoom of the map the shop numbers will be
 rendered out of sync with the other svg parts.

 We tracked the issue down to the following css file:
 wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style.min.css

 The selectors used in the blocks
 {{{
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-style]>*,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-style] td,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-style] th,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-style] tr {
   border-style: auto
 }

 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-width]>*,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-width] td,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-width] th,
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-width] tr {
   border-width: auto
 }
 }}}
 will cause the issue.

 Reduced to the exact selectors:
 {{{
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-style]>*,
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 .wp-block-table table[style*=border-width]>*,
 }}}

 or simplified:
 {{{
 *[style*=x]>* {}
 }}}


 We were also able to reproduce the issue in our test system:

 Map without the critical selector:
 https://db-ek-preview.d-ssl.de/preview/station_bonn.html

 Map with the critical selector (style selector used in header):
 https://db-ek-preview.d-ssl.de/preview/station_bonn_broken_chrome.html


 **Steps to reproduce:**
 1. Open website:
 https://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/dresden-neustadt/lageplan
 or
 https://db-ek-preview.d-ssl.de/preview/station_bonn_broken_chrome.html
 2. Scroll to map view
 3. Zoom in or out by mouse wheel / drag gesture / controls

 **Current behavior:**
 numbers within the circles in to of the shopping areas will be drawn
 outside of the circle

 **Expected behavior:**
 shop numbers drawn in sync with white circles

 **Note**
 Window resize by 1px or more will trigger svg area render updates, which
 will fix the issue until next zoom action.

 I know the bug is a Google Chrome Browser issue in v96 and I will report
 the issue to Google Chrome team too.
 But I report this issue to WordPress core team too, to trigger a
 workaround for Wordpress, because I think the Google Chrome team will not
 prioritize this issue.
