348446 - Changing scale in Print preview always resets preview visual to 100% - change is saved, however.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 230287

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Pete]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 SUSE/1.0.4-2.1 SeaMonkey/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 SUSE/1.0.4-2.1 SeaMonkey/1.0.4

When entering Print Preview (print.whileinPrintpreview = TRUE) the preview image is scaled according to previously saved Scale value. Changing "Scale" to anything causes the preview image to be rescaled to 100%. The new scale value is, however, saved and used when printing (but see bug 348444).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set print.whileinPrintpreview to TRUE in about:config (why can't this be the default?)
2.File->Print Preview
3.Set Scale to some value (either preset or custom)

Actual Results:  
Preview image is scaled to 100%

Expected Results:  
Preview image should be scaled to selected scale.

This occurs in Seamonkey (1.0.4) and Firefox (1.5.0.4) and has ALWAYS occurred on Mozilla browsers under Linux: Firefox since v0.8, Mozilla since Netscape!

I've tried on three different machines with installations of Fedora Cores 2,3,4 Suse from 9.2 to 10.1, Ubuntu 5.10, Mandrake 10, Mandrive 2005LE etc. etc.

Print preview has always worked perfectly under Windoze - from 98 to XP-Pro.
