136270 - Crash on "Print To File"

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[R.B.]

I crash every time when I try "Print To File" with Linux 2002040808. Talkback ids:
TB4973351H
TB4974129G
(Not sure if this is related to Bug 136199, "Fails to print at all". I get no
error when printing to printer, the job gets spooled, but I have no printer
attached atm.)

confirming...I also crash using 4/8 trunk build on linux.
Can people try it out again using 4/9 build ?

R.B., we can't reproduce using latest build...

can you try again with newer build ? it should be fixed...

marking this RESOLVED-WORKSFORME.

if you still have the same problem with newer build, then REOPEN this
bug..

thanks.

Worksforme Linux 2002041008.

This bug has in fact from the beginning been a dupe of Bug 136053, "A crash
occurs if you try to print to a file in a directory where you do not have write
permissions" (a regression of Bug 34706), just I didn't notice that I was trying
to print to Mozilla's install directory.

It is rather strange that the default for "Print To File" is mozilla.ps in
Mozilla's install directory, which is normally not writable to mere users. This
happens every time, i.e. a different choice made by the user is not persistent
even across a single session. I'll write a note about that in the other bug.
