162938 - inappropriate display of web based email in print preview mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 130589

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[Dr. Richard Close]

while using squirrel mail at my email website i attempted to print out a long
email about 10 pages. The print format only formats the first page ignoring the
rest of the pages in the email,  and then it shows all framses,on the webpage
not restricting itself to the email frame, making  the email print out useless.
I am sure this is a bug in mozilla since when i access my email account from
netscape (v4.75) i do not have any of these troubles.  I am presently using
build 2002072104. but had the same issues with versions 1.0 of mozilla.  I do
not believe that this is a squirrel email problem unless there is some
incompatibility with mozilla.

thanks for your attention.

Richard, are you always going through the "Print Preview" menu item?  Try just
clicking "Print..."  and see whether "Print the selected frame" is the option
selected.  If this doesn't work, please save the page you are trying to print as
"Web page, complete", zip it up, and attach it to this bug.  Thank you!

Dr. Close, please add comments about bug reports in the web-based bug form,
instead of private email, so that bugs can be tracked more easily.  I have
pasted your relevant comments here:

***
I did as you suggested and went to print mode directely and the option of
print this frame only was checked.  The email appears to print out correctly,
so the bug appears to be in the print preview screen which only shows one page
with no options to see any other page, and it shows all frames on that page.
