287482 - Printing/Print Preview of a page with a division that cross a page boundary 'messes-up'

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[John James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

As in the example page, if a division has a non-zero margin and spans multiple
pages, each successive printed page causes the division to move to the right.

The amount the division moves appears to be the margin width.

A non-zero padding does not cause the problem, only 'margin'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an html document with a division with a non-zero margin and 'float:
left|right'
2. Content in the division that spans multiple pages.
3. Print or print preview and scroll down to subsequent pages. 

Actual Results:  
Results very similar to the above mentioned URL.

Expected Results:  
Not slide the division over with each page.

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
