As first found by runab0ut here:

A website causes a freeze when generating print preview.
I've made a testcase based on that website.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open my testcase, attached below.
2. Enter print preview

Actual Results:  
Freeze, you can only kill firefox (I haven't tried on Seamonkey)

Expected Results:  
Working, maybe a bit boring, print preview should open.

All the <p>s at the beginning are most likely needed to push the real broken
element (either form or final div) to the right spot. *Perhaps* the <form> is
not needed either, and some extra <p>s would achive the same thing.

I'm using A4 paper size - perhaps with differen paper size, different number of
<p>s is needed to put the broken element (whichever that is) the the right spot.

WFM in 31st Oct nightly.

Could you test this bug in the latest nightly?

Sure. Still breaks with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041102 Firefox/1.0RC2 (zip) + new profile

If it works for you, is it A4 paper size?

A4 size paper (by default) works for me.

What are your File | Page Setup options set to?

I don't think I changed much. Portrait orientation - it's WFM with Landscape.
Shring to fit on - if I disable it, I get a hang at 90% scale setting and WFM at
any other setting from the dropdown.
Margins default 12.7 mm everywhere (oh wait, now it says 11.9mm for top
margin... I think it's a bit random). Headers and footers default.

Test case WFM, but I can confirm a freeze on print preview on url
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/web_design_depth_of_field.html as
mentioned in the mozillazine thread.

Testcase crashed the following ua for me. Also, my printer is set to use letter.

Comment 9

[TheRecon Network People Services]

Test case will always crash the sys, must be the CSS

Comment 10

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I get a crash too, because a line box is confused about the number of kids it
has...  That happens sometimes with printing...

Could someone actually minimize the testcase please?  I have a hard time
believing all that CSS is required, for example.  With a minimal testcase, I may
be able to look into what's going on.

Comment 11

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Attachment: More minimal testcase

Note this produces a different stacktrace than the first testcase.

Comment 12

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Attachment: Even more minimal

Note it seems to matter what margins you have set in page setup, i have 12.7 mm
for all four margins. If i lower the buttom margin, it doesn't crash.

Print preview on www.myrxhealth.com (haven't tried other sites), running Windows ME (sorry!) [just clean reinstalled OS] and using Firefox 1.0.7 (brand new installation).  Have not tried on other web pages because completely freezes, have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  Does not happen on same web page on Firefox 1.0.3 running under Windows XP on same home network/ISP.

[Alex Tanner]

I don't know whether this issue has anything to do with it, but Firefox (2.0b1 under Windows 2000) stops responding when there are too many pages in a document.

E.g. I go to the page <http://samuel-beckett.net/Waiting_for_Godot_Part1.html> and click "File -> Print Preview". There are 45 pages in the document (I checked using IE's Print Preview feature). I got bored after waiting for hours for the preview to appear (somehow IE seems to be much quicker here) and decided to go back to the web page I was viewing. The "X" on the Print Preview box had taken over the "X" on the browser, i.e. the browser window's "X" failed to respond. I clicked Print Preview's "X" and a "firefox.exe Not Responding" window appeared. This shouldn't happen.

Alex, 
Have you tried the test cases for this bug?
The URL you cite is bug 238177 comment 6, and perhaps a different issue.

Comment 20

[Alex Tanner]

Don't ask me, I don't know what to do with test cases!

Comment 21

[Alex Tanner]

OK, I tried all attached testcases, apart from comment 4 (it didn't seem to make sense). All WFM when I tried Print Preview. As for paper size, there doesn't seem to be an option for that any more in File -> Page Setup. Isn't that set by the printer driver, anyway?

[Radek 'sysKin' Czyz]

With neither 2.0 branch nor trunk crashing, I suppose I have no choice but to close this bug.

If someone can get talkback with either of them, yell loudly.
