Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[peter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b

When rendered in print preview, or when printed to acrobat pdfwriter device,
white lines and/or shifted sections appear in rendering.  Browser rendering is
ok.  Appears to be some kind of rounding mistake when shrinking.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View above url. 
2. Access file > print preview
3. Set page setup > shrink to fit page width on,  print background off, portrait

Actual Results:  
White lines at seams that should not show.

(turning background printing on results in more such errors, but harder to
describe).

Expected Results:  
No white lines.

Same bug is present in Firefox 1.0PR.

Sorry if this was previously reported, but I can't find it if so.

I have not checked to verify that the web page confirms to any html standards.

Ah, you want me to do work...

Ok, I tried the Firefox build of 2/2/05.  Bug is still there.

Also tried mozilla build 1.82005020306.  Bug is still there.

BTW, it's sufficient to just go to url http://www.wheresmyrebate.com
The Url earlier is just where that redirects me to.

Attachment: source of offending web page

Here's the source of the offending web page as seen by my browser this moment
(mozilla 1.7.3).  (note the naviscope ad blocking comments, which come from a
proxy, which however are no-ops in this case).

It appears that the offending matter is, as expected, a table of images with 0
border and spacing.  I haven't excised and tested this by itself, however.

I see the whitespace/lines between the images when I set Print Preview, Scale:
to Shrink To Fit, 125% and 90%, but they seem to disappear when I choose 100%,
200% or 80% (Using Mozilla 1.8b1).

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.
