Flaw in exporting to SVG

Question

[yEd version 3.24]

I found a flaw exporting some diagrams to SVG, where the label inside boxes overflows on the right, while in the original .graphml it doesn't.

As it needs an example, I made one and put it in a shareable link (will last only a month though)

Sample SVG

I do not think this is a bug in yEd. Actually, this is probably an artifact of how SVGs work in general. I.e. text size depends on the application (and operating system) that is used to view an SVG document.

Case in point, on my machine the SVG matches the yEd graph quite well.

My report was incomplete, indeed.
The overflow to the right happens in Inkscape 1.4 and in LibreOffice 7.6.7.2, which I use for further incorporation of the SVG generated.
I confirm that here too, with Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 11, the text is enclosed in the dashed box (and in the lower label to connector).

However, note that if I remove most of the other elements, and leave just the dashed box and the lower three diagram elements (diamond, connector, red box), the problem disappears also with Inkscape and LibreOffice.
I didn't inspect the SVG markup though.

[EDIT]
By default, the SVG is produced with `font-family="sans-serif"` which doesn't mean very much about real font size (Firefox can take *any* sans-serif, as others do).
Forcing a "DejaVu Sans" fixed it, now the font is uniquely sized for any consumer.

In the end: my claim of a flaw in the conversion is clearly false!
