299029 - print selection doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243842

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Cindy Ross]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

With every version of Firefox that I have ever used, doing a print selection on
certain websites (not all, but many, the url I gave is just one example) results
in a garbled printout.  I have seen this on multiple systems, with any printer.
 (This includes using print-to-pdf-file printer driver, and I can send the
resulting pdf showing exactly the garbled results if that would be helpful.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select the text, avoiding just the "banners" at the top and bottom.

From the menu, select File, then Print, push the Selection radio button,
then press OK.
Actual Results:  
Actual result is garbled printout.

Expected Results:  
Expected result is non-garbled printout.  :->

Confirming. I see the title borked when you try to print less than one page and
the overlap thing happening when you print a selection that's more than one
page. But, I think this might be a dupe of bug 243842.
