273780 - Printing does not split to multiple sheets

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 154892

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steven Rothman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

For this web page, in both Print Preview and actual printing, the web page
doesn't get split across multiple sheets-- the first page prints down to the
bottom of the sheet (and in print preview keeps going to the bottom of the
window, past the bottom of the sheet).  The page number says "1 of 1".  The web
page prints fine in MS-IE 6.0.2800.1106 (4 pages)-- which is the workaround I
used.  It may be that the web page is badly constructed, but (unfortunately)
Firefox's goal needs to be that it works better than IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to the URL.
2.  Select File/Print Preview
3.

Actual Results:  
See above description.

Expected Results:  
Split the page into multiple sheets.

(none)

With Firefox 1.0.7 this bug still occurs-- no change in the behavior.  My
earlier comment still applies-- the problem may be a badly constructed web page,
but since it works in IE, the goal should be that it work in Firefox.  Regards,
