--- Comment #3 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <kosse...@kde.org> ---
Thanks for the report.
First some technical background:
The preview plugin relays the rendering in the respective format to a matching
KParts plugin, based on the MIME type. Currently that KParts plugin is used
which is the default one for the given MIME type. And right now the default can
be only controlled via the Plasma System Settings ("Applications" > "File
Assocications" > Select "image/svg+xml" > tab "Embedded").
Chance is that the KParts plugin "svgpart" is the currently top one there.
Which internally uses Qt SVG (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtsvg-index.html), which
"s[S]upports a subset of the SVG 1.2 Tiny standard.". So might not be enough
for your SVG files.
To improve your situation, see if there is the KParts plugin webenginepart or
kwebkitpart installed and then choose that one as the most preferred in the
mentioned settings dialoig. These parts will use the SVG rendering engine of
web*, which possibly supports more parts of the standard.
Please tell if you could make this work and if it improved the preview for you.
Future plan is to allow selecting the KParts plugin to use in Kate settings
itself.
So this is actually not a direct bug of the preview plugin, but a problem of
the svgpart KParts plugin only supporting a subset of SVG. Seems that one has
not yet an entry in bugs.kde,org, will see to create one and then move this bug
report over there.
