Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

After you click on print preview and then close the preview window you are not
able to select the text on the page ... to be able to select something in the
current page you need to refresh.

Confirming with Build 2003042904 and Windows XP.

Here is another page that shows this bug:
http://members.fortunecity.com/hounou/coster/

After reloading the page, selection works again.

Testcase of the problem. It's just an IFRAME then some text.

Lowering priority to minor... there's an easy work-around: reload the page.

I tested and searched for dups before filing bug 304313. 

In my test case, refresh is not needed to be able to select the text.  Does this
old bug manifest in more ways than the test case suggests?

2 example:

1 example (bug present)
open page "http://fark.ru/"
select any text
push File->Print Preview
push Close (on Print Preview page)
result:
 -selection of the text has disappeared
 -impossible to select the text(any) without refresh page (!!!)


2 example (bug NOT present)
open page "http://info-torg.ru/"
select any text
push File->Print Preview
push Close (on Print Preview page)
result:
 -selection of the text has disappeared
 -we can select the text(any) without refresh page (!!!)


wishes:
after page preview selected text must be selected (like after File->Page Setup)
