"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'nodeName' of undefined" clicking on SVG elements

If you find this in your Chrome console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'nodeName' of undefined

then you are suffering from:

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8118

my quick fix:

svg {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Obviously it will prevent any interaction with the SVG elements, but in my case, since I'm using them just as icons, it doesn't matter.

Did you happen to find a better fix for this? In my case I need to use the svgs as clickable elements

@uriklar, I I haven't dug deeper since this solution suits my needs, but following the issue you'll find https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/7697#issuecomment-53101021 , so maybe you should fork the repo and make a PR to fix it.

Cheers.
