287642 - overflow:hidden causes rendering issue in Print Preview

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 129941

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Oli Charlesworth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

It seems that for an HTML block with its CSS "overflow" style set to "hidden"
that should be clipped by the "page" boundary in Print Preview, it actually
spills onto the grey background below the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML page with a <DIV style="overflow:hidden"> element with enough
content to require more than one printable page (use the example I posted:
http://olifilth.co.uk/41.htm).
2. View in Mozilla
3. Go to Print Preview

Actual Results:  
Text content spills onto background below visible pages in Print Preview.

Expected Results:  
Should've been clipped at the edges of the visible page.

Over to view rendering.  Reporter, could you please attach the testcase to the bug?

Is this bug also the reason why printing doesn't work properly on this page: http://aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/utskrift/0,3258,1030980,00.html

The appearance of that page seems to be similar to this testcase when selecting Print Preview.

marking as a dup of bug 129941 b/c it describes the same problem and at least has some code contributed to it, albeit fairly old.
