Attachment: Simplified testcase

Hmm, I really have no clue how to approach this bug...

Attachment: Correct version of testcase

Oops, posted the wrong one.

Not sure the simplified testcase really matches the complexity of the original.  We need to figure out why something that should print out in 3 pages (see Safari) prints out in 9 instead.  Looks like the problem starts where the graphics are jumbled with the text (see screenshot).  Might just be bad HTML but it looks like something more than just that.

No, it doesn't match the complexity of the original; I'll fix the issues in the testcase, then see if there are any issues left in the original site.

BTW, I have figured out why it prints to so many pages; see the patch in 386147.  I haven't figured out the overlapping text, though.

I was not able to reproduce this bug.

I did print-preview attachment 270125 [details].
It was 4 pages by
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090101 Minefield/3.2a1pre
It was 3 pages by

Note: Original bug (linked in comment 0) is now resolved as WORKSFORME.  I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know the details, but perhaps this instance of the bug should be resolved as well.

Seems the page no longer exists
