85768 - [FLOAT] [PRINT]Floated elements that do not fit on a page are not continued to the next page when printed.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Marc Attinasi]

When printing a page, an element that is floated will not be continued on the
next page if it cannot fit on the current page. If the element is not floated it
is continued correctly on the next page. The problem seems top be in
ReflowFloater, which does not seem to handle incomplete status from a block's
reflow.

Trying for 0.9.2

Not going to make the 0.9.2 cutoff - moving to 0.9.3

(note: blocked 0.9.2 bug 74738 has temporary hack that is not dependant on this)

Moving to Mozilla1.1. Engineers are overloaded with higher priority bugs.

Just a note: Eric Meyer noted in bug 153785 that this bug and that one might be
dups.  153785 is fixed now, and I note that this bug's testcase WFM in the 1.1
beta milestone (build 2002072204 PC/Win98).

I'm wondering if the fix there has fixed this bug.  Unless someone can still
reproduce it, of course....

this should have been fixed by some recent floaters/printing fixes i think.

WFM 2003031308, Windows 2000, marking as WORKSFORME since several people also
verified this in the last comments.

Probably fixed by: bug 145305, bug 148245, bug 153785, bug 127286.
