281991 - Print Selection does not reset/Mozilla hangs forever trying to print

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260459

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Robert Stephenson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

After printing a selection on a page, the 'print selection' option remains set.
 The result is that when another page is to be printed, it text is not selected,
the print dialog will hang forever.  If the cancel button is pressed it still
hangs, and the browser process must be killed and restarted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.highlight some Webpage text
2.print the selection (choose Mozilla on drop-down list, then print selection)
3.then attempt to print another page (not just a selection) without explicitly
unchecking 'print selection'

Actual Results:  
print dialog hangs forever. Pressing cancel doesn't help.

Expected Results:  
a) the 'print selection' should reset itself once the selection is printed.
b) Attempting to print a selection when none is selected should generate an
error dialog.

this worksforme with linux trunk 2005031705 and 1.7.5.  After deselecting the
text, the "print selection" radio button is disabled and not selected.  Printing
works fine (no hang).

I meant to ask: what did you do between 2 and 3 to de-select text?  (open a new
page, deselect text, etc.)  Or did printing cancel the selection perhaps?

Open a new page.

This sounds like bug 260459 - Print Selection doesn't work on Mac OS X.
