Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Raphael Clifford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050818 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050818 Firefox/1.0.6

Firefox segmentationa faults with the message

"/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116:  9832 Segmentation fault     
"$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)
"

when I attempt to print to file.  It does in fact look like it is doing the
printing and get's right to the end before the crashing. There is a "mozilla.ps"
file created.

There is a full description with debug output/stack trace at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102944

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox and go to a web page
2.Choose "print to file"
3.

Actual Results:  
It looks like it is printing to file and the seg faults leaving the error message

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116:  9832 Segmentation fault 
     "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)




Expected Results:  
Firefox should print to file and carry on normally without crashing.

If I go to about:config and toggle all preferences with "Type2" in their name to
"false" then I can print to file!  The only message I get in the xterm from this is

 NO FONT WAS FOUND Name["Sans"]

The resulting ps file looks ok at first glance.
