296279 - print, print preview; 2nd page has only headers and footers, text and images missing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295815

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Robert Praetorius]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0+

MapQuest driving directions don't print correctly - the first page looks OK (if
you think splitting images across pages is OK).  The second page has only a
header and a footer and is otherwise blank.  Print Preview output pretty well
matches physical printer output.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL in question (or make your own MapQuest directions)
2. either print or preview


Actual Results:  
web page content missing from 2nd printed (or previewed) page, although Deer
Park does produce a 2nd page with only a header and footer on it.

Expected Results:  
print the remainder of the text and images on the 2nd page (like, I hate to say
it, IE6 does)

Trying this with a month-old (or so) Mozilla^H^H^H^H^H^H^HSeamonkey produced at
Talkback report, so things have gotten better.  The Seamonkey nightly
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050601
shows the same problem as the Deer Park nightly.

I suspect this is due to a fairly recent change in MapQuest or Mozilla, 'cause
(being desperately direction-impaired) I use MapQuest quite frequently (and
usually with Firefox, running IE only as a last resort).

I'd definitely go for my bug being a duplicate of bug 295815 .
I apologize for that - I did search for print bugs, but it only returned
the 1st 200.  Shoulda tried mapquest. . .

That makes 295815 cross-platform, since it happened to me on MSW2K and
295815's reporter saw it on OS X.

I think bug 274424 is a different beast (unless a bug was re-introduced).
I'm certainly I've successfully printed mapquest directions since the
2004-12-13 open date on that one.
