230593 - when printing mails and postings, some pages get a different background color inherited by css definition of links

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Printing, defect)

Description

[Frank Widmaier]

rv:1.7a 20040110-9 and before

usercontent.css
================
.moz-text-plain pre > a {
 color: blue ! important;
 background-color: #00A0A0 !important;
 text-decoration:none ! important;
 font-weight:normal ! important;
 }

 .moz-txt-sig > a,
 .moz-signature > a {
   color: blue ! important;
   background-color: #00A0A0 !important;
   text-decoration:none !important;
   font-weight:normal !important;
 }

This changes the linkcolors to a blue color on a dark greenblue in
postings/emails and signatures.

If "Print background colors & images" is checked you get in trouble when
printing those messages.

The first page looks ok (see attachement 1)
The other pages inherit the backgound from the links (see attachement 2) on that
page.
If you have another page without a link on it - it stays white. (see attachement 3)

Will I uncheck that pref - I see only the blue color of the link, I defined.


Will I define

.moz-text-plain pre {
  font-size: 12pt !important;
  background-color: #A0A0A0 !important;
  }

in my css-file too, all pages inherit the dark grey background. That's OK -
that's what I expect. The pages with the links, are grey too, they don't turn
greenblue. (see attachement 4)

what I expect:
If I define only background for links, the display area should not inherit from it.
If I define the backgrund of the message, the display area should inherit.


Additional Info:
I found problems like that for the _browser_ - component.

Frank are you still having this problem with Thunderbird 60.7.2?

I don't have a color printer and can not test.

Printing has significantly evolved 15 years. If issues are still seeing please file a new bug with a testcase message.
