Bob, can you help with this bug ? Does it sound like a duplicate of an existing issue? Thanks.

This was created from bug 1308516 so I guess that is related.

Alice does the test case page from bug 1308516 comment 12 reproduce this bug as well?

Seems like quite an old regression and if it is similar to bug 1308516, it looks like a subtle layout or font issue, so I'm not sure I'm the best person to look into it.

About the test case of bug 1308516 comment 12,
Same error via Print preview. And direct print(File > Print) also error.

The root cause seems to be same.

Removing tracking flags for 52 and 51 and moving them to the dupe bug.

Clearing more flags to match the dupe.
