The printout has also problems (bug 192132). Depending on the print setting
(frames separately or as layed out on screen) 5 pages or 1 page are printed.

I also see this with a current build (plain Mozilla) on Win2k.
This might be a duplicate, but the possible ones I found were a bit different
(e.g. this page has no position:absolute div).
-> NEW so somebody finds the original report (or just fixes the bug :-) )

[John Schlesinger]

I have the same problem with all pages in Mozilla 1.4a - no matter how large the
page, I only get one page printed or shown in print preview. I am using W2K.

I am using Win XP and version 1.3 final and I see only one page in print preview.
Also only one page prints where there should have been two.

Comment 6

[Walter Ebeling]

Changing the severity to major, since it ist a major function not working properly

Comment 7

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

This apparently isn't a widespread problem and I have no difficulties printing
any of the handful of popular sites I tested on Windows and Linux. 

Comment 8

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

It seems this problem also happens when you declare
overflow:auto,overflow:hidden and overflow:scroll on body of html. They react
all three slightly different.
I have made some testpages:
http://home.hccnet.nl/m.wargers/test/mozilla/print/

This has nothing to do with the testcase though. I think it has something to do
with it that it has frames.
I see it happening on all kind of framed pages.

[Brodie]

I'm not sure if this has the same cause, but the result is the same. I only see
one page of the following URL.

I just came across this bug report when searching for a solution to print problems we are having, using 
any version of Mozilla/Netscape7 on either Mac os/x or Windows. Our web pages 
(www.math.uwaterloo.ca/index.shtml) make a lot of use of <div> tags and CSS positioning, on all such 
math pages Print Preview shows only 1 page and when printing trucates that web page to 1 page 
discarding the extra. Removing the <div> tags allows the page to print correctly. My test page for this 
can be found at: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/mathcontent/ProtoPages/PrintVersion/
PrintTester2.shtml   My email is [e-mail]. Is there a solution to this bug?

Printing/previewing only one page: pages with (i)frames see bug 247166, pages
with Overflow:auto see bug 248440.

Comment 16

[Michael Schilder]

encountered this in FF3 beta 5 while testing to see if FF3 would have fixed the problem.

Comment 17

[Max Hugen]

Bug (1 page only printing) present in FF3.5.2 on WinXP, see: http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100rivallist.html. Same problem at some other websites.

Comment 18

[Josef Bucek]

Yes, the exact same behaviour as #17 happens on http://www.duden.de/deutsche_sprache/index.php?nid=22  (FF 3.5.3)

Comment 19

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

The sites in comments 17 & comment 18 both have stylesheets that specify "overflow: hidden" on an element that contains their main content, which means the main content gets clipped when printed, due to bug 129941.

In the first site, the element is "#main" and the stylesheet is http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/css/style.css
In the second site, the element is #content, and the stylesheet is
http://www.duden.de/global/css/global.css

Duping this to bug 129941, because that's generally responsible for most of this type of of issues, and it's definitely responsible for the most recent activity on this bug.

With react, this issue has become prominent than before. Do you plan to act on it? It has been little over 16 years since this bug was open?

Duping correctly based on the subject of the original report.
