319471 - Printing forms with scrollable input only prints part of the input

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew Rochlin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

If a form has a scrollable text input field which allows more text than can appear visible (because some of it scrolls off-screen), when you print that form, only the visible text prints.  This wasn't earlier behavior (I don't know when it changed).  It is much more useful if ALL of the text in a form field prints.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any form which displays scrollable text and has more text than can appear on-screen (which may be editable so it's input and output)
2.print the page
3.Not all of the scrollable text will print 

Actual Results:  
Not all of the text prints

Expected Results:  
All of the text (even scrollable text) would print - by making the printed text box field larger in the print out

This wasn't how Mozilla always behaved, though I don't know when it changed.

No reply, INCO. Please reopen if you are seeing this in Firefox 3.5.2 or later in Firefox safe mode and a new profile with the latest plugins.
