204840 - After closing print preview, page is incorrectly displayed at font size selected for print preview until next font size change.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 172520

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[Drew Devereux]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

If you change the font size in Print Preview, when you exit to the main browser
window the page you were viewing is displayed at the font size selected in Print
Preview.

But the Browser thinks it is displaying at its original font size, so that any
subsequent changes in font size are interpreted relative to the original size.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to <http://www.google.com/>
2. Use Ctrl + to increase font size by three steps - font is now big
3. Print Preview - font is now standard size
4. Use Ctrl - to decrease font size by three steps. - font is now small
5. Close print preview.  - font is now small, which IMHO is incorrect.
6. Use Ctrl + to increase font size.  Font size jumps seven steps from small to
very big.


Actual Results:  
The change in font size while in Print Preview managed to confuse the browser so
that it rendered at one font size but remembered a different font size.

Expected Results:  
My preferred result is for font size changes to be disabled while in print
preview, at least until such font changes are correctly displayed and affect
printing.

If that's not possible, then font sizes should be separately handled, so that
font size changes in print preview have no effect on the main browser window.

Forgot to mention:

Sometimes print preview doesn't permit font size changes.  Workaround is to
close and re-open print preview.  This is a separate bug -- feel free to file
it.  I'm just telling y'all so you can reproduce this one.

Should font size changes even be allowed in Print Preview?  E.g. changing the
font size while PP'ing this page is dead ugly with text overwriting itself at
every opportunity (Win32 build 2003071208), text in <input type=text> fields
getting truncated on all four sides, etc...

This should possibly be filed as a seperate bug, but a similar effect happens if
you adjust the font size in the browser window then open and close the print
preview window. The main page reverts back to default font size. If you try and
resize though it's remembered that it's resized before and moves to the expected
size.

Steps to reproduce
------------------

1) Hit Ctrl and + to increase the font size in a document.
2) File / Print Preivew, then close that window.
3) Obvserve that the font size in the main window has reverted.

Expected results
----------------

Font size in the main window should be one size up from default.
