544527 - Printing this page fails to print most of the content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 129941

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Luis Villa [Outside Counsel; for non-law use [e-mail]]]

If I try to print the page in the attached URL (http://www.opensource.apple.com/license/apsl/) I only get two pages- basically the header (on one page) and then the first page of the license. The last 11 sections of the license vanish into the ether :) This happens with both the hardcopy and the preview, or if printing to PDF.

Other pages (nytimes.com, news.google.com) print fine.

This is with Minefield 3.7a1pre from 20100204031200.

Perhaps a duplicate of bug 524715 ?

Comment 2

unlike bug 524715, there are no frames in the apple apsl page.

Given the pile of divs in that page, I'm guessing this is more of a dup of bug 401121?

Using DOM Inspector shows that the div with id "content" (which contains all of the clipped license text) has computed-style "overflow:hidden".  That definitely causes content to be clipped at page boundaries.  (It's the cause of the vast majority of "long content being clipped" issues that I've seen. :))

(Not sure which of their stylesheets / style rules is applying that value.)

 --> Dupe of bug 129941.

Note that there's a workaround in that bug (search for "stylish").  You should also be able to highlight just the license text and do "print-selection", I think.
