Inline SVG only scaling to parent container in Google Chrome

edit: applying min-height: 0; to .svg-container fixes the container sizes but in Edge the svg elements overflow their containers.

I am trying to make an inline SVG element scale to the height of its parent container. The parent container is sized using CSS grid (I have also tried flex box).

I have been able to get this working as desired when viewing in Google Chrome by setting the elements max-height property to 100%. However when viewed in other browsers the SVG seems to ignore this rule.

These are the browsers I have tried:

Google Chrome: Version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) - this one works
Microsoft Edge: 44.18362.449.0
Firefox Developer Edition: 73.0b12 (64-bit)
Firefox: 72.0.2 (64-bit)

Here is what it looks like in Google Chrome (desired result):

Here is what it looks like in FFDE (also in regular FF & Edge):

The body and html elements both have a rule of height: 100vh; and all other child sizes are derived from % or fr.

I would very much appreciate any guidance as to how to ensure the elements do not exceed 100% of their parent containers when the containers when using css grid or flex as so far none of the solutions I have found in other threads have worked for me.

Here is a jsfiddle and below I will include the code. Thank you for your time.

Solution

Add min-height:0 to fix the issue in most of the browser (related: Prevent content from expanding grid items) and for Edge you will need to add height:0;min-height:100% to the SVG. The last fix will remove the usage of percentage value with height which is creating an issue with Edge.
