Bug Description

Just when i make any text and put it on a circle with "put on path" , then i go to the beginning of the text, press alt+arrow , it moves ok , then at some limit , the text begins to disappear , despite its a circle , which has no ends

what i am expecting is text to continue being dragged

Workaround: is to rotate the circle .

The current behavior is expected and conforms to how text-put-on-path is defined in the current SVG 1.1 specification (it does not wrap around for closed paths).

«Notice that glyphs that fall off the end of the path are not rendered»
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#ExampleToap03
«Glyphs whose midpoint-on-the-path are off either end of the path are not rendered.»
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TextpathLayoutRules

The current SVG 2 draft adds support for text put on basic SVG shapes and differs between open paths and closed paths/shapes:
«For an open path, glyphs with mid-points that are not on the path are not rendered.»
«For a closed path (including an equivalent path for a basic shape), the path is considered to wrap around in both directions. All glyphs are rendered.»
