Confirming overflowing text with 2003050714/trunk/W2K.

Color of links in PP is IMHO correct. In CSS file for print are specified these
rules:

A {font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-family:garamond CE, garamond, serif;        }
A:Visited  {}
A:Active  {}
A:Hover  {}

but Mozilla (as useragent) has rule for a:link (see Edit | Preferences |
Appearence | Colors | Link Colors). If you change first rule to a:link, you may
get color what you want.

I'm confirming this bug for the first part.  Someone may have to tweak the
summary to reflect this (I don't have enough privileges to do this).

For the second part, in my style sheets I have "A, A:link" (without the quotes)
in place of just your A and everything works fine.  You might try that to see if
it works.

P.S. Generally its one bug per report so that everything can be tracked
separately.  Please try to keep that in mind.  Thanks!

I can reproduce the same problem (both in print preview and in the final printed
output), along with problems positioning text on the page (sections of text end
up on top of each other).

I have tested this on Mozilla 1.5a for Linux, 1.4 for Linux, and 1.4 for
Windows, 1.4 for MacOS X, and they all have the same problem.  I also tested
with Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1, which also had the same problem.  (Interestingly,
Konqueror also has the problem with sections of text printing on top of each
other, though Safari, supposedly using the Konqueror code, gets it right.)

I have set aside a test case that displays this, and that validates against the
W3C validators both for HTML and for CSS:

This WORKSFORME. Can someone still reproduce the mentioned problems?

Comment 5

[Zed Pobre]

Yes, I am still confirming this on Mozilla 1.7.5 for Linux and Firefox 1.0 for
Linux, using the same test case at
http://www.math.lsu.edu/calendar/bugreport.html -- some of the conditions that
used to be there have cleared up a little (text is no longer overlapping in
strange ways in the titles) but it still flows right off the bottom of the
screen, with print preview telling me that there is only one page to print.

The testcase mentioned in comment 3 and comment 5 shows bug 154892 -- most of
the content is in an absolutely positioned div.

Same for the page in the URL field.

Marking duplicate.
