508498 - Printing pages with large tables, fieldsets etc. will truncate the large objects to one page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 471015

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Jürgen Deisenroth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; de; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073021 Firefox/3.0.13
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; de; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073021 Firefox/3.0.13

Printing a page with a large html table shows only the first page. Printing a page with large fieldsets and tables inside, shows only 3 of 7 pages. The large fieldset is truncated at the page end and not continued.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.If you have access to TYPO3, try printing the extensions at the extension manager. You will only see the first page. It is of no relevance if you try printing the frame from the contextual menu or if you first open the page in a new tab.
2.
3.



Printing large fieldsets worked fine with Firefox 2.0.0.20, but not with version 3.0.13 and 3.52. Printing the loaded extensions at TYPO3 EM did not worked with FF 2.0.0.20 also and gives only the first page.
Printing The error happens both at Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Windows XP SP3.

Yeah, duplicate of bug 471015, at least for the fieldset part.

Jürgen: Splitting simple HTML tables across pages should work... If you can come up with a simple testcase that demonstrates your problem for HTML tables, can you file a bug?

(Note: if this is only broken for you when you uses fieldsets or containers with overflow:auto/hidden/scroll, then it's due to bug 471015 and/or bug 129941).

[and attach the simple testcase to the bug]

Attachment: Testcase with 2 saved pages and pdf printings from FF and Safari

Daniel: I saved two webpages from our TYPO3 backend with Firefox and build PDF printings with Firefox and Safari. The first testpage called "druckerverwaltung" prints only 3 from 7 pages in FF. The second testpage from the "em" (Extension manager) prints only 1 page, Safari prints 3 pages, but Safari fails also and prints not all. At the CMS are many containers with overflow:hidden.

Ok -- then that part is most likely a manifestation of bug 129941, then. (which is fixed in Firefox 4, yay!)
