303036 - Print preview doesn't work well for OBJECTs and EMBEDs containing documents

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

With GTK2, if you print preview on a page containing OBJECT or EMBED elements
which give rise to subdocuments (e.g., an OBJECT containing HTML or an EMBED
containing SVG), the documents appear in the wrong place. It appears the widget
isn't being positioned correctly. I've spent a while trying to figure out why
but I can't figure it out. As far as I can tell we build the correct nsIWidget
tree, but GTK2 at least isn't putting the widget in the right place. I'd be
interested to know if it works in Windows.

This testcase demonstrates the bug. Just open it and then do Print Preview.
caillon, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look because I'm fed up with it
right now.

The patch in bug 303023 is necessary to make the EMBED test work at all.

Is Firefox bug 322914 (partly) related to this bug?
