24469 - Inconsistent Printing of Images.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[Joseph Elwell]

I'm getting images printed out inconsistently.
For starters, the animated image on top of the page (but after the header) is
showing up as blank square with a dot in it.
All the other images sometimes print sometimes they are boxes, sized properly,
with their ALT tags printed. If I pull the main page out of frames it seems to
print with images fine.

On the sidebar the all the buttons appear black - except the buttons below
"Kontakt"; except once "Kundenkonto" was also black.
Mozilla build: 2000011908 winNT.

I will have to parse this bug... sounds like a few bugs to me.
The ALT bug is known, the frame bug is known, I just have to sort out what is
meant here.

These bugs are duplicates.  There are bugs logged againts the ALT text not 
really working, Animated GIFS not loading frame 1 will be a new bug.  The 
contents of frames is a webshell problem.  It would be better if future bugs 
addressed single issues at a time so dups could be logged and tracked.

marking verified. it seems like there should be a generic "Images don't print 
consistently" bug, because currently just hitting print a few times on the same 
page doesn't produce the same output.

If you can get a test case.. that you print and it is not consistent.. then log 
that.  There could be a memory leak, pagenation problem, etc.. 
I just wanted to point out that alot of problems logged into one bug is not a 
good thing since we can not track that.  Printing is basically another platform, 
we are laying a document out to a printer.. so printing has all the same (and 
more) problems Unix or the Mac might have when your are laying out to a screen.
