When printing a table which requires more than 1 page to print, where the table
includes a row with shaded cells (e.g., <td align="center" bgcolor="#cccccc"
width="100">4</td>), and where Firefox "Print Background" is turned on
(File/Page Setup/Format & Options: Print Background) the second page is entirely
shaded. I have tested this on multiple printers and computers (Windows 2000 and
XP) with the same result, and this does not occur in IE.

This is somewhat similar to bug report #299303 (Bleeding Background), but
involves different tags.

I do use an imbedded style sheet that includes, "td {font-family: "Arial";
font-size: 7.5pt; line-height: 1.25; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid
silver}", but the cell shading is controlled by the actual cell "td" tags.

An html page which demonstrates this bug is posted at,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See the example page at,
http://www.itsolutionz.com/download/help/example_shading_bleed.html, and review
the source code.



Expected Results:  
As with IE, all pages beyond the first print page should print with the correct
cell shading, rather than having entire pages shaded.

As I use Firefox as a helper program for printing html formatted reports created
by a database front-end, this presents a significant obstacle for report
printing--I have had to go back to IE for multiplag printing:-(
This also occurs in Camino while printing.

You are correct (I did not find that reference when searching the bug list).

I also found a workaround on the list, as follows...Add  white bgcolor to all
BODY tags, as in, <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> your html </body>.
Duping...
