Details

When you press back right after you start a printing job of a web page, and you do it fast enough, it pops up one of those modal alert boxes, "Document cannot print while printing or in print preview" (or something like that). This message locks up the browser and is unecessary (though might be useful for a REALLY long web page)... We moved away from content modal alert boxes for some network messages. Can we do the same for this? Is there any way we can have this message pop up as an element overlaid within the web page frame, or just have it hold off the back until the print job is done?
I just realized that we could just pop up a tooltip over the back button.
