183973 - Print doesn't print more than first page; doesn't print results of query

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Printing, defect)

Description

[Ken]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021205 Chimera/0.6+

List of account transactions, or statement, doesn't print more than the first
page, and doesn't print the query results (the transactions). Perhaps the fact
that Chimera isn't picking up the query results explains why it won't print more
than the first page -- it apparently doesn't think there is anything to print.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a financial institution web site at which you have an account
2. Get a statement or transaction history
3. Print

Actual Results:  
Top frame and recurring objects print; transactions do not.

Expected Results:  
Print transactions presented by institution

Ken, since I can't log into that site I can't test this. A test case that we can
try would be helpful.

What do you mean when you say "Chimera isn't picking up the query results
explains why it won't print more than the first page -- it apparently doesn't
think there is anything to print."

Attachment: Comparison of print results, IE 5.2.2 vs. Chimera 0.6 12/5/02

First two pages of PDF shows output from IE 5.2.2. There was a third page but I
left it off.
Third page of PDF shows output from Chimera 0.6 12/5/02. Note footer indicates
a 2nd page was expected.

Please test a recent chimera build on Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

I wonder if there is some form post weirdness going on here. Confirming, based
on reporters data.

Comment 5

[Conrad Carlen (not reading bugmail)]

Does this happen with mozilla as well?

Comment 6

[Adam H. Pendleton]

This problem occurs in Mozilla 1.4, as well as the latest Safari release.  It
does not happen in Explorer, as was explained in the original bug posting.

Comment 7

[AW]

I can reproduce this bug on multiple machines on Camino 0.7, running under OS X
10.2.8.

To reproduce it:
1) Visit http://www.econw.com/projects/eco_impacts.html
2) Print the page.

The printout only includes the first page of the site. Several pages should
print, and do print in other browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, etc).

NOTE: Some other sites, but not all other sites, will print correctly. For
example, the google news page, http://www.google.com/news correctly prints out
as multiple pages.

Comment 8

[Phil Randal]

It's the "position: absolute;" style attributes doing it.

See Bug 223978 Comment #5

Comment 9

[Stuart Morgan]

Comment 7 is the position:absolute issue, but we don't know about the original
bug report.

Ken (or anyone else with an account at this site), can you test with a recent
Camino build and a recent Mozilla or Firefox build, and provide HTML for the
page if the problem is still evident?  If not, this bug will be closed, since
without access to the site there's no way to know what's causing it.

Given that it looks like they've redesigned their site recently, I'm guessing
there's not much that can be done here.

[James Napolitano]

As per comment 9, this bug is now closed.  Ken, feel free to reopen it if you
follow the instructions in comment 9 or need help doing so.
