Description

[Jeff Corbets]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080206 Camino/1.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080206 Camino/1.5.5

I have been printing a number of web sites this morning.  After printing a site and navigating to a new site, I tried to print, but the Camino print settings page in the print dialog (the page with "Print only the selected frame", etc. is no longer available.  This is now true for all sites that I try to visit before restarting the browser.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a web site
2. Print the web site - the print settings for Camino will be available
3. Visit a new web site
4. Print the web site - the print settings for Camino should still be available
5. Repeat the process until the print settings are no longer available... generally about five or six printings, but not always.
Actual Results:  
Camino print settings page in the print dialog is not available

Expected Results:  
Camino print settings page should be the first page in the print dialog shown.

Have you visited any pages with Flash (or other plug-in content) on them during your surfing?  If so, this is a duplicate of bug 303548.

In a separate window, in-between printing the sites, I did visit another site that used a Java applet, but I am not sure when it was in the browsing history.  The site with the Java applet was not open when any printing was taking place, just intermediate to some print jobs.

Smokey, you mentioned in that other bug that you weren't able to cause it with Java, but Flash is so incredibly prevalent on the Web now that I find it hard to believe anyone could surf for more than about an hour or two *without* view Flash content (even by accident) unless they had actually disabled the plugin. I think it's probably safe to dupe this over there.

Jeff, if you disable *all* plug-ins and restart Camino and do the same thing you were doing before, do you still run into this? If you do, please re-open this bug.
