314467 - Navigator: Print preview, and printing, omit images and some formatting - not all pages, but consistent per page

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Larry Brunelle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.7.8-2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.7.8-2

The browser renders a pretty page, but omits certain images and formats (like the
Mozilla dragon) on some pages in both print preview and in the output to the
printer.  Some pages render beautifully on the screen and look like corporate
reports at the printer.  Others render pretty faithfully.  
(<div> tags issue? Dunno.)

I observe this same behavior on the latest download for Tiger, as well as 1.7.8
for Linux PPC.  Also on Firefox for both platforms (with some peculiar gray 
boxes overlaying parts of the text in the preview (of the Fedora homepage
provided with the distribution) for Firefox 1.0.4 Linux PPC).

I have not observed similar behavior on any Intel-Linux platform, nor Tiger's
supplied Safari browser.

Checking the "Print background and images" in the Page Setup dialog 
didn't seem to change anything.  (Can't even  seem to find this choice
on the OS X release.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Load an affected page.
2.  Print preview.
3.  If you don't believe the preview, print it.

Actual Results:  
Got pages apparently complete in text content, but laid out
differently, and missing images.

Expected Results:  
Rendering at the printer similar to Linux-Intel release 1.7.11.

I'm very sorry if I just don't know something I should, but this seems 
a changed behavior from every release back to Netscape 1.x.

All seems ok.

Reporter, if we have specific pages, or simplified pages (simplified testcases) of where there are problesm, we can probably look into this better.

Otherwise RESO/Incomplete

This bug is old enough that I wouldn't have a copy
of the original release around anyway.  Kinda looks
stale to me.  Thanks for advising.

Larry, if a current SeaMonkey version still has problems here, this bug could still be valid.

But thanks for the quick response!
