203092 - Images split by pagebreak preview correctly, print incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 234095

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[lohphat]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030423
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030423

If a graphoc needs to be split via a pagebreak, print preview shows a propery
split preview.

But when printed, the portion which should be printed on the following page is a
squashed version of the entire image.

This may be due to a replated problem in that the fonts printed are smaller on
the preview allowing the image to actually fit on one page.  I'm guessing that
the incorrect font is throwing off the page spacing calculations.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Entire graphoc printed on one page and remaining portion actually the entire
image resized into the smaller vertical space.

Expected Results:  
Properly split image.

May depend on bug 129037

Is the part that's on the first page correct?  On Linux and other Unixish
platforms (see bug 130568) where we use Postscript printing, both halves are
messed up.

The squashed image may appear on the second page just before the correct one;
see my attachment for bug 222329.

Why are this bug and 222329 still tagged as unconfirmed?  People have confirmed
this problem right and left.

It shows up at the first image at http://www.friesian.com/cognates.htm and at
images near page breaks of the content of other sites.  The normal and
compressed versions of the relevant image can show up in any order on either
page, and part of the adjacent text can be lost.

It's still unconfirmed because:
 * there isn't a single comment of someone reporting this bug in 1.5 (in which
some related bugs were known to be fixed) or newer.
 * there isn't a simple testcase attached to the bug

> * there isn't a simple testcase attached to the bug

There's at least one extremely simple test case among my examples under bug
222329.  These two report branches should be combined into one, since they're
evidently of the same bug.

Not really a duplicate of bug 146799. 146799 is just about splitting images
across two pages; it has morphed to include the image-squashing aspect but this
wasn't mentioned by the original reporter. Image-squashing doesn't (currently)
occur on linux (the bug 146799 reporter's platform) so it may be
windows-specific. I intend to WONTFIX 146799 and I don't want to lose the
image-squashing issue.

Still present in Firefox 0.8.

Duping to bug 234095, which apparently describes the current windows behavior.
