This is the URL that won't print properly on Camino but will print fine on Safari.

Firefox has the same behavior, so -> core

THIS BUG MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.

Things of note:

1. The exact text of the <select> matters. If you remove the ] from the end, the bug is still there. If you switch the L at the front for an x, the bug is still there. However, if you switch the ] for an x, the bug is gone.

2. Padding matters. Removing style="padding:blah" from anywhere makes the bug vanish, and removing extra nested tables makes the bug vanish, presumably because tables have default cellpadding.

3. Huge, sweeping changes have no effect at all. One of the things I changed while making the testcase was switching it from a single, fixed-width column to letting it take up as much of the screen as it needed. That had no effect. 


In short, I'm completely confused.

I managed to pull a few more things out of the testcase... it still gives no clue what the actual problem is.

Reporter, your bugfile needs a *_reduced_* testcase, a *_minimized_* testcase. I underline here reduced and minimized. 

What is a Simplified Test Case, and How Do I Make One?

Also, your description needs to define exactly what are the expected results: in other words, what is supposed to be printed.

Finally, "be sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days. Our development process moves at lightning speed, and the bug you've found may already have been fixed."

Gérard, the testcase for this is very hard to make. It depends on strange interactions between things with only a few pixels tolerance for change. It's not feasable to ask someone inexperienced to do it; I've been doing them for years and it took me a long time to reduce it even as far as I did.

Also, as I understand it end users aren't expected to use nightly builds to file bugs, only the latest release build--which Camino 1.0 is.

This is another URL, in which case Firefox prints merely title and URL:

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Testcase prints correctly for me in FF 4.0.1 Mac.
