Status: UNCONFIRMED

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://www.bgtest.eu/?f=test&test_id=505
2. open print preview


Actual results:

* first page with lots of empty space
* second page contains table partially (till 4th point, the rest is missing)
* third page almost empty


Expected results:

* firefox should properly split content between the different pages such that all content is visible
* avoid leaving big empty areas on the pages.

Attaching the page as HTML at the time of reporting the issue. One can open the html file and the print result is the same.

Attaching a screenshot for how it works in Chrome. Btw a lot of times I hit pages where printing with firefox is a mess while things look pretty descent in Chrome. Would be nice to have printing fixed so that alternative browsers are not needed.

It seems we decide to push the float rather than fragment it,
which seems a bit odd to me.
