User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; MyIE2)
Build Identifier: 

The margins feature of the page setup allows you to enter values that are 
invalid for the chosen page size. No error message is displayed. Consequently, 
when the user chooses print preview, nothing is displayed. If the user chooses 
to print the page – independent of choosing the print preview option – nothing 
is printed.

This feature was tested on Windows XP, Firefox 0.8

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox 0.8
2. Select page setup from the file menu
3. Select margin & header/footer option tab
4. Change the margin sizes to 4.25” for the left and right margins and 5.5” 
for the top and bottom margins
5. Select print preview from the file menu 


Actual Results:  
However, we did not receive an error message box. Additionally, when print 
preview is selected the page is not displayed and when the page is printed, 
nothing is printed at that page setup.

Expected Results:  
We expected to get a warning dialog box to let us know that you cannot have 
margins that large with the selected page size.
Confirming (reproduced with Firefox 03/27 on WinXP; not a dup).

This dialog is forked between /toolkit and /xpfe, so the same bug probably
exists in Seamonkey.
