 suspect you are not excepting enough from your JS ban or some other high

 6.5.2 on the default security level. Could you try that scenario?

 Yes. The problem is not NoScript but `svg.in-content.enabled` set to
 `false`. ALlowing SVG to load and render solves this problem. But that's
 not a bug but a design decision made for the high security level.
