Excessive <svg> elements? As of 5.9.1 Release - Not present in 5.9.

[mvaleno]

This is a before and after.

Started with WordPress 5.9 updated to 5.9.1 and I see a bunch of <svg> elements before the wp-site-blocks <div> element.

One of these <svg> elements looks like this when expanded in the inspector:

<svg xmlns="​http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 0 0" width="0" height="0" focusable="false" role="none" style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute; left: -9999px; overflow: hidden;"><defs><filter id="wp-duotone-dark-grayscale"><feColorMatrix color-interpolation-filters="sRGB" type="matrix" values=" .299 .587 .114 0 0 .299 .587 .114 0 0 .299 .587 .114 0 0 .299 .587 .114 0 0 "></feColorMatrix><feComponentTransfer color-interpolation-filters="sRGB"><feFuncR type="table" tableValues="0 0.49803921568627"></feFuncR><feFuncG type="table" tableValues="0 0.49803921568627"></feFuncG><feFuncB type="table" tableValues="0 0.49803921568627"></feFuncB><feFuncA type="table" tableValues="1 1"></feFuncA></feComponentTransfer><feComposite in2="SourceGraphic" operator="in"></feComposite></filter></defs></svg>

There are many!

Here are the before and after 5.9.1 update images.

Not that they seem to be effecting anything, but 1) I can't find where they are generated 2) They are really cluttering the page structure in the inspector; as I use it to make sure I am following ARIA rules...

Hello and welcome to WordPress Trac @mvaleno!

Thank you for raising this issue. It appears these SVG elements are generated by the editor, so I moved your ticket to Gutenberg GitHub repository: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39008

Let's keep this ticket open to track the resolution of this issue. I'm moving it to milestone 5.9.2.

Thank you

Moving to milestone 5.9.3 since we're about to release 5.9.2.
