275525 - Unexpected result when closing print preview while print spooling is in progress.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David Pottage]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If print preview is closed while spooling is in progress, the current firefox
window is not restored to normal. Instead, The tab bar returns, but other button
bars do not. When print spooling has completed, a second click on 'close'
restores firefox to the normal view.

Reproduced twice. (After that, I ran out of documents that needed printing, and
I don't want to waste paper or ink.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to a lenghty web page.
2. File | Print preview.
3. Click 'Print'
4. While the 'spooling' dialog box is visable, click 'close'


Actual Results:  
Print preview buttons remained visable. The tab bar re-appeared.

Expected Results:  
The window should have returned entirely to normal, and the spooling continued
in the background.

bug 270150 has other ways to lose the menu in preview.
I could not ever get the menu back when this happened to me.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I confirm this for FireFox 107.
I can't mark it confirmed or un-resolve it. Please someone do this.
(Mozilla suite is ok)
