I think this might be covered by bug 1658031…
But also, why do we still have a "Print Preview" menu? So perhaps this bug should be about removing that menu item.

This no longer happens when we move to TabDialogBox.

Duplicate of bug 1659697 which has already a patch attached?

I think it's a slightly different bug since it's about showing another dialog instead of resizing, but it should be fixed by bug 1653317 so I'm removing the [print2020_v81] whiteboard tag for easier tracking.

And now that bug 1653317 has landed, this should be fixed. :)
Alice, would you like to re-test, and confirm?
