(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Charles Wise]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

The URL (http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/31124?t51hb) exhibits broken behavior when printing.  It is discussed here (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13554_3-10020813-33.html).  The first page doesn't show the text content and most of the content is never printed.  I've checked against Safari/WebKit and it prints correctly.  According to the CNET entry, IE 7 also prints this correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to url http://news.cnet.com/8301-13554_3-10020813-33.html
2. Print the site (either print preview or actual print)
3. Output is incorrect
Actual Results:  
Text is pushed to the following page and content is completely missing.

Expected Results:  
Output is printed correctly, text isn't pushed to following pages and content isn't missing.

This also happens (in FF 3.0.1) on Windows and Linux.  A similar problem happens (on all three platforms) in FF2.

Possibly dupe of bug 129941?  (Is there an "overflow: hidden / auto / scroll" container that wraps the truncated content?)

I haven't dug deeply enough into this document to confirm it myself,
but that's what one of the commenters (James7777777) says at
