406707 - print preview truncates pages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[Jim]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11)

Whether I tried to print it or view it using print preview, I noticed that a section of the page disappears between the 1st and 2nd page.

Similar to bug 392298, but not exactly the same. In that bug report, only the 1st page is shown; but in my case, the very bottom of the webpage gets printed on the 2nd page, only the middle section gets truncated

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/200050/rpem/ccd/RebateDetails.do
2. Do a print preview
3. Notice something is missing between the 1st and 2nd page
Actual Results:  
No special setup required.

Expected Results:  
The print preview shows 2 pages, but a section of the actual webpage is missing from the 2nd page

Should've printed the whole thing. Tried with a box with IE7, which printed the entire page correctly.

FWIW: This is WFM on Linux Firefox 3.0.3, as well as on latest-trunk.  Printed output all fits on 1 page for me.  (probably due to different sizing of something on different platforms)

Sounds suspiciously like bug 129941, though...

WFM in Firefox 3.0.3 on Windows Vista, too -- output all fits on 1 page, and even if I force 2 pages using landscape mode, nothing is missing between pages 1 and 2.

I'm guessing the URL target has changed (right now it takes me to a "Requested item not found" page, with a big sitemap) -- feel free to reopen if you can correct / update the URL with something that reproduces the bug (preferably with a testcase).

I spoke briefly to XtC4UaLL in IRC regarding comment 1, and he agreed that this is WFM.  (He was thinking that the bug was about the footer at the bottom of the page being missing in print-preview -- "Deals" "Shopping" "Peace Of Mind" "About Us" etc.  However, that footer's also missing in FF2 and IE8, so that's probably the intended behavior, using print-specific styling.)

 --> Closing as WFM.
