[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Caret browsing in print preview doesn't seem useful to me, that didn't work in Mozilla1.7, I filed bug 348210 for that.

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

What sort of object is mFontMetrics at that point? that seems to be the cause of the crash

Comment 7

[Mike Schroepfer]

Moving out to 1.8.1.1..

Comment 8

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Restoring lost blocking flag

Comment 9

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

We don't think this is critical enough to require investment in the 1.8.0.9 timeframe, but we'd take a well baked patch. Nominating for 1.9.

Minusing blocking1.9.  Is this bug even still present on the trunk, after the switch to cairo?

Comment 11

[Lucas Adamski [:ladamski]]

Repro doesn't work for me in 3.0.3 or 2.0.0.17, OS X or Linux.  Can anyone still repro it in SeaMonkey?

Comment 12

[Brandon Sterne (:bsterne)]

Bug does not repro for me using SeaMonkey 1.1.12 on Linux.  I am able to do the print preview without aborting.  I am going to resolve this bug as WORKSFORME.  Feel free to reopen it if you feel it is still valid.
