109103 - Printing elements appear on different pages rather than together

Status: NEW

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[David Wilson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

The page displays correctly on my monitor but as separate elements on different
pages when printing.  (The frames options on the print menu are greyed out so I
presume this is not a frames issue)

Incidentally, unlike Mozilla, MS Explorer prints this page the same as displayed
on the monitor.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Display
2.Print
3.See problem

Actual Results:  Elements are on separate pages

Expected Results:  Elements to be combined.

I definitely see the problem.  Looks like a problem with the floating images
completely displacing all the text....

Another testcase:
http://www.terra.es

It's a very big spanish information portal.
The table appears split avery column of the center on diferent pages.

I'm testing with the just released Mozilla 1.0 Final Release.
also I have tried to reduce the page with the percent zoom, but it doen't do
anything. You cant put 10%, 80%, 90% and always the same size is rendered. The
scaling option is broken on Mozilla 1.0?

What should be in one page takes three pages.
Firefox 2.0.0.2.

Actually, that's more or less correct.  The page has a height="100%" table, which is getting sized to the size of a page as a result.  Then there's stuff before and after that table....

Not really related to this bug, though.
