Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0
Steps to reproduce:
See related bug for Firefox print dialogue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1692100
Tested Daily in Mozregression.
Regressed by: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D115673
Actual results:
Migraine.
It opens a modal, covering part of the window.
If I try to scroll, because it only covers part of the window, there's a lot of extra sheering pain around it.
If I go into the preferences menu, and search print, no option to avoid this dialogue appears.
Other bugs say that the plan is to remove old printing code w/o any accessible replacement.
Expected results:
It'd help if there wasn't as much or as intense flashing, and if the dialogue used the whole window, and if the edge between scrolling and non-scrolling elements was as far from users' expected focus as possible.
It'd also help if system print dialogues were still an option.

Hi Marja, unfortunately I don't think there's much Thunderbird can do about this, as we're just using the Mozilla platform code for printing.
So your best bet is platform bug 1692100 - you can try there to get some of the pain points eliminated depending on prefers-reduced-motion
preference.

Let's dupe it. It's shared code.
