Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[script]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

Printing above URL results in only part of the page printed and adding an additional empty leading and trailing page (see attachment). This happens for using print-preview, clicking "print" button on web page, or print to paper. The page prints fine in MSIE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to attached link
2. print-preview, clicking "print" button on web page, or print to paper

Actual Results:  
contents truncated with blank leading and trailing page

Expected Results:  
print two pages

There are several bugs mentioning print problems of similar nature. But I am not sure whether they point to the same problem. Also, most bugs have been open for a looong time. I therefore submit this fresh bug today for Firefox 3.1b2.

--> Layout::Tables, per reduced testcase 1.  (This seems to be a bug in how we split tables across pages.)

This is a regression WRT Firefox 2.

Both the URL and the original testcase are working in Firefox 2.0.0.18, but are broken in Firefox 3.0.5 and in mozilla-central nightlies.  The build IDs I tested are below:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5

Here's a slightly cleaned-up version of testcase 1. (closing tags & <tbody> & <tr> tags added)

reduced testcase 1 (no units on height; ignore me too)

d'oh -- I changed to use style="height: 100" instead of height="100", but I forgot to add units, so the height is ignored in this version.

Third time's the charm... :)

This regressed between these builds:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061207 Minefield/3.0a1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061208 Minefield/3.0a1
 --> Caused by reflow branch. (bug 300030)

Daniel I see all 300 lines in your testcase with a recent nightly

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Me too! Awesome.  The content at the original URL has moved/disappeared, but I think we can mark this as WORKSFORME based on the attached testcase.
