239137 - Lines of text and images are separated over page breaks

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132035

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Meyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040326 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040326 Firefox/0.8.0+

When you print any long pages in Firefox, the contents are separated over a page
break indiscriminately (if it is long enough).  In other words, a single line of
text might be started on one page and ended on the next (cut across
horizontally).  This makes it very difficult to read the line.  Images are the
same way, but there might need to be an option for whether or not to split up
images over page breaks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Print anything that is more than one page of text.
2. Notice that many pages will have their last line of text split over two pages.

Actual Results:  
The last line or image spans both pages.  Not very useful.

Expected Results:  
A text line should be entirely on just one page, otherwise the line is unreadable.
