282058 - Firefox doesn't print the entire webpage

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Johnson]

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

In the Investors Business Daily website the Stock Checkup pages do not print
correctly. The first part of the page is not printed. This fails on both Mac and
PC. Only IE works as expected; Firefox fails on both Mac and PC as does Safari
on the Mac. I will try to attach 1) a pdf file showing Firefox result, 2) a pdf
file showing IE result, and 3) a text file showing the raw html for the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Display any Stock Checkup page at the IBD site
2. Print it.
3. Observe the missing parts at the beginning of the printout.

Actual Results:  
Hey, something is missing.  :)

Expected Results:  
The printout from the IE browser is correct. No missing parts.

See attached files (2 pdf's and a text file as explained above.

This pdf file does not show the first part of the webpage. (See the other pdf
file for the correct output as produced using IE.)

Attachment: Correct printout (using IE)

This is a pdf file showing correct output for the webpage in question.

Attachment: Text file showing html source for web page printing incorrectly

Hopefully, this "dump" of the html source will help someone looking at this
problem. I can supply any additional info you might need to solve this.

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.
