Some SVGs as base64 are not displaying correctly using CSS but works fine in HTML within an img tag

Question

For some reason some of the SVGs I'm using are not displaying correctly when stylized through CSS but works with no problems at all when they're used within an img tag. Here's a demonstration: https://jsfiddle.net/xf29ze1m/

HTML (#1 and #3 does not work):

<span class="testing"><i class="icon-test">#1</i></span>
<span class="testing"><i class="icon-test2">this one works for some reason</i></span>
<span class="testing"><i class="icon-test3">#2</i></span>

HTML (#1 and #3 works fine within an img tag):

I tried using: background-position: 0 0; instead of background-position: center center; to no avail. I also tried changing the fill color within the SVG file, still didn't work. Any pointers?

Answer 1

I've included the value cover for the background-size and removed the background-position .
