251208 - print preview toolbar does not go away when printing is not available

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 226973

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Marius Gedminas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040712 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040712 Firefox/0.9.1

When Firefox is compiled without PostScript printing support (as it is in
Debian), and xprint is not available, selecting Print Preview shows an error
dialog, and then opens a print preview toolbar above the tab bar.  It is not
possible to get rid of the print preview toolbar short of closing the whole
browser window (hitting the Close button makes the tab bar go away instead).

The print preview toolbar should not appear at all when printing is not available.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you do not have xprint on your machine
2. Make sure there are at least two tabs open
3. Select Print Preview... from the File menu
4. Close the error dialog about xprint being unavailable

Actual Results:  
The print preview toolbar appeared above the tab bar.  Clicking on the Close
button on the print preview toolbar does not hide it, but hides the tab bar
instead.  It is still possible to switch between tabs with the keyboard
(Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn/Tab/1/2/3/...).


Expected Results:  
The print preview toolbar should not be visible.

It seems somehow the JS glue doesn't catch the error when no printer is
installed (same problem will likely appear on Windows).

bz:
Can you test on Win32 whether it happens there too, please ?

Um.. Roland?  Win32?  I haven't had a Win32 environment around for 8 years now,
and I figured you'd know that by now.

Let's try this again (as b.m.o times out):

This sounds like a duplicate of bug 226973
