188044 - Mozilla hangs when printing the maporama.co.uk screen that's meant for printing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[john]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

In this maporama screen which is meant for printing, Mozilla hangs when I choose
print from the menu. I left it a few minutes in case, but no change. I
ctrl-alt-del'd it and W98 reported it 'not responding'. At the time I had eleven
Mozs open, but when I tried again (after reboot) it still failed. Netscape 6
works fine, as do other Mozilla prints.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to maporama.co.uk
2.Enter United Kingdom, 34 Westbourne Park, YO12 4AT, and Scarborough, go
3.Click the 'export the map .. by printer' icon near top right
4.Choose File, Print from the menus

Actual Results:  
From memory (I can't do it now or it'll crash), the print dialogue doesn't go,
alt-tab doesn't work, clicking the x-close doesn't work, and nor does clicking
the programs on the program bar at the bottom

Expected Results:  
Handled the print.

My Mozilla has done this before and not necessarily on print. In fact, I'm
starting to consider it buggy. I don't know if other people use it the same as
me, but I can have multiple Mozs open at once, maybe up to ten at a peak, as I
go through the day's input. I prefer that to opening many sites in the same Moz
as I'm in the habit of using alt-tab to flick between everything I have running

Actually, it appears it hangs whatever I try to print. But I'm sure print has
worked before, and I can't think what I've added/installed/removed recently.

So, nothing to do with Maporama, just to do with print.

What actually happens is the 3 bottom & right quarters of the print dialog box
are removed, leaving the top left quarter, everything goes slower, and
eventually it shows as not responding in the ctrl-alt-del task manager.

Is this still a problem with a recent version of Mozilla?  Have you tried
creating  a new profile?

WFM Moz 1.7.1, W2k, prints nicely, no problems.
I'd say this is a profile or similar issue, I'm sure people would be screaming
if printing was dead on W98.
