Status: NEW

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[passiday]

Attachment: Full testcase. Unzip the archive, open test.html in Firefox.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180517113820

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit), on Ubuntu 16.04.01
Created an iframe that contains multi-page html, and attempted to print it.

The actual usecase is a JavaScript report engine that can create multi-page documents that are rendered in a hidden iframe and can be printed from there. I experienced problems with multi-page reports (the number of pages was correct, however only the 1st page contained any content), and created a simple test case.


Actual results:

When the iframe is printed, only the first page is rendered. The second page prints empty. Jut by pure chance I stumbled upon a hack that makes the second page rendered: adding a border around the page container div.


Expected results:

The second page should be printed just like it is rendered in the browser, without any hacks. The fact that the border hack works might point to some deeper faults.

jwatt: Perhaps worth noting for fixing with Fission. Not sure what's going on here, but the 1px border hack does indeed appear to work.
