    Description

      When loading a document with no 'viewBox' attribute in the header, the last line
      of the JSVGScrollPane.getViewBoxRect method throws a NullPointerException. This
      happens because the GraphicsNode (gn) is present (not null), but 'getBounds()'
      returns null, so 'gn.getBounds().clone()' on the last line of the method throws
      NullPointerException.

      Suggested fix:
      at the end of the JSVGScrollPane.getViewBoxRect method,
      change
      return (Rectangle2D)gn.getBounds().clone();
      to
      Rectangle2D bounds = gn.getBounds();
      if (bounds == null) return null;

      return (Rectangle2D) bounds.clone();
      [end patch]

      Impact of The bug is annoying but not severe:
      EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent catches the exception (as Throwable) and does
      '.printStackTrace()', sending it to System.err. It's annoying and causes people
      to get nervous, to see a NullPointerException in the output/log every time an
      image is loaded. But other than that, the effect of the exception is about the
      same as more careful null checking and returning null, as is done in most other
      cases in the JSVGScrollPane.getViewBoxRect method: Returning null pretty much
      causes the callers to avoid doing any further processing, and the exception
      accomplishes the same result, less gracefully. ;->

      Has been observed in both Microsoft Windows and Linux environments.

      Example problem document:
      <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="body" width="2048" height="1536" ></svg>

      Example good document:
      <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="body" width="2048" height="1536"
      viewBox="0 0 800 600" ></svg>
