Issue: When I insert a SVG, it doesnt show up correctly.

Office 365 Version: 16.0.12228.20100

SVG Code

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<svg id="circleBase" opacity="1" width="93px" height="140px" version="1.1">

 <defs>

  <marker id="0.34345532943162227" viewBox="0 0 12 12" markerWidth="12" markerHeight="12" refX="1" refY="3.8499999999999996" orient="auto">

   <polygon points="8 0 0 5.5 8 12 8 0" style="transform: scale(0.7)" fill="#252627" />

  </marker>

  <marker id="0.9474718016032786" viewBox="0 0 12 12" markerWidth="12" markerHeight="12" refX="4.199999999999999" refY="3.8499999999999996" orient="auto">

  </marker>

 </defs>

  <rect width="100%" height="100%" stroke-width="1" stroke="red" fill="none"/>

 <path fill="none" stroke-width="3" d="M 44.99237441718835 169.5139592278682 A 121.54499999999999 121.54499999999999 0 0 1 108.35635246589857 59.764329877823045" marker-end="url(#0.9474718016032786)" marker-start="url(#0.34345532943162227)" style="transform:translate(-29.954998016357422px,-44.764339447021484px)" stroke="#252627"></path>

    SVG is a relatively new format in PowerPoint. To report this bug, please click on File>Feedback, then click on the Send a Frown button. Describe the problem in detail as you've done and include a screen shot with your screen caps. Submitting sends the report to the PowerPoint programming team.

    Thanks for posting, I'm sure that will help others. It's extremely rare for Microsoft to reply to bug reports.

    Thanks John, appreciate your quick response. I do not yet have any response to my frown yet :))

    ok I Figured - PPT does not like the style attribute in SVG

    It rendered the image well when the SVG was rewritten like

     <path fill="none" stroke-width="3" d="M 44.99237441718835 169.5139592278682 A 121.54499999999999 121.54499999999999 0 0 1 108.35635246589857 59.764329877823045" marker-end="url(#0.9474718016032786)" marker-start="url(#0.34345532943162227)" transform="translate(-29.954998016357422,-44.764339447021484)" stroke="#252627"></path>
