123599 - Print Preview Problem

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[David Wilson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

When invoking the 'Print Preview' option, the original page/window disappears
and is replaced by the print preview image which is fine.

I am unaware how one reverts back to the original window/page from which the
print preview was taken.  The 'back' button is not activated.

I would have expected a new window to be created from print preview much like
the MS Word print preview utility does.  One could simply kill the print preview
page and be left with the underlying original page.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Invoke print preview and then try to get back to the original window/page.


Actual Results:  Cannot return to the original page.

Expected Results:  I expect to find a procedure to return to the original page.

I don't see a print preview facility in the email part of the program and feel
it should apply thoughout.

Yes, I agree this is a problem. It also occurs on Moz Milestone 0.98 Win 2k. The
reload button does bring back the original page, but that's counter-intuitive.
This is a UI problem at the core. 

It can be fixed by opening a new browser window, or by providing some way back
to the original screen (even by just enabling the back arrow). Suggestions and
supporting arguments anyone?

The new Print Preview now has a close button on the Print Preview toolbar to get
out of Print Preview.   This bug should be marked as fixed.
