409486 - Printing/preview causes deadlock

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[one0db414e7f2e8]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Trying to print the above wikipedia page causes firefox to "hang", nothing happens any further even after several minutes. In windows task manager I see the memory consumption increase and increase. Since printing is a "modal dialog", all tabs are inaccesible and firefox can only be killed through task manager.

This happens with different printers and even if I only select "print preview". Since this happens on a wikipedia page, this is a really annoying bug. BTW, I can print other wikipedia pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Echte_Aloe&printable=yes
2.Press "Druckvorschau" (German for "print preview")
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox does not respond and must be killed through task manager.

Expected Results:  
Show a preview.

Do you see it hang with FF3?
