Textbox selection is still visible outside of the clipPath:

Note: In addition to the selection, the cursor also appears outside of the clipped area:

Thanks for opening the issue.
This is a bit of a complicated issue, what do you think is the use case of this? can you explain it a bit?
Why would you like to be able to edit text but have no idea where cursor/selections are?

Because when we bake a behavior in the library we need to make sure it is at least supported by common sense

Thanks, @asturur , I appreciate your reply.

That demo essentially replicates what in HTML would be a div with overflow: hidden. The expected behavior is that anything outside of the area is hidden, including cursor or selected text. (demo)

Likewise, a clipPath defines the area inside of which contents are visible. Common sense is that when an object specifies a clipPath defining the area in which content is visible, that content outside that is not visible.

From the other perspective, what is the justification for "a clipPath defines the area in which things are visible, but sometimes things (e.g. selection, cursor) are actually still visible outside the clipped area"?

I wasn't debating the logic itself of clipping.
I was just thinking who wants to edit text in a clipped container.
I understand from a pure concept of the api it make sense that what is clipped is not visible.

I m trying to understand how important it is to get fixed.

Thank you, Andreas. 🙏 For me, it's critical to what I'm building. I'd be happy to contribute to a fix however I'd need ample guidance.
