435430 - trying to print or print preview of http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Kissingen does not complete

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

[Martin Honnen]

When trying to print or print preview the document at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Kissingen with Firefox 2.0 the browser (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14) shows a dialog "Preparing" and then hangs, consuming up to 99% of the CPU resources. It has to be terminated from the Windows Task Manager.

That happens for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 and was reproduced by someone on Usenet with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 as well.

James, can you reproduce this with a current version or nightly build?

I can reproduce this with current nightly build on windows 7 pro - it does not complete. But I have e10s enabled which might not give a true picture.

[James Rome]

I get an error message that some printing functionality is unavailable if I preview the PDF. But it looks OK to me.
