Description

Description

SVG images with multiple paths used as modebar icon don't color correctly since 3.0.0.
I noticed the "fill" style is only set on the initial path element, not all of them.

Notes

It works fine up through 2.35.3, breaks in 3.0.0.
I believe the cause is 46ea43c1a155cc8981919840f8851b31cb938d13.

Reproduce the issue with the linked JSFiddle and compare the modebar SVG behavior with version 2.35.3, then inspect commit 46ea43c1a155cc8981919840f8851b31cb938d13. Done means custom SVG icons with multiple paths receive consistent coloring in version 3.0.0 and later.
