Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 154892

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[cwsulliv]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Attempted printing of some long web pages fails - the printout is truncated to the first sheet.  The web pages pass W3C validation for XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS so ought to print with correct pagination.  The same problem is observed with all releases of Netscape, Mozilla, Galeon, and Firefox (up to and including Firefox 1.5.0.1) I've tried, under both Windows XP and Linux (Red Hat 9 and Fedora Core 3).  The problem is NOT observed with Opera or Internet Explorer browsers.

Examples of web pages which exhibit the problem are:
  http://www.screem.org/news.php
  http://www.heyu.org


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Firefox browser and go to URL http://www.heyu.org
2. Click File > Print Preview (or just File > Print > OK).
3.

Actual Results:  
Observe that only one sheet is displayed in the Preview window and/or is actually printed on the printer, and that the text is truncated at the end of that sheet.

Expected Results:  
For the example given, two sheets should be printed.

The example page is correctly pagenated to two sheets when printed with either the Opera or Internet Explorer browsers.
