577470 - [1.9.2] Print/Print-preview is missing content at forum on clubic.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[cerebro.alexiel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100628 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100628 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.6

Like Bug #564454, the print preview differs from the actual page.
But I'm not sure if they're related so I'm filling another bug.

My page is an [FR]"How to mod an AWARD BIOS under DOS" so printing it is necessary.
As a workaround, I ^C/^V 'ed the content I was interested in from Fx to OO.

You can download an archive containing 2 PDFs showing that Chrome and Opera render correctly the same webpage at http://www.geckozone.org/forum/download/file.php?id=674.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.clubic.com/forum/overclocking-tuning/modder-un-bios-award-presentation-id353198-page1.html
2.Click on File | Print Preview
3.
Actual Results:  
The section detailing howto mod the BIOS is blank. Not very useful.

Expected Results:  
The print preview should looks like the actual page.

I think it's a gecko bug. Not tested with Minefield however.

Confirmed on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8pre) Gecko/20100708 Namoroka/3.6.8pre

I get 4 pages of output, with the initial post's first sentence[1] not visible anywhere.

In mozilla-central trunk, seems fixed -- I get 8 pages of output, and that initial sentence is visible (at the top of the 2nd page)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; en-US; rv:2.0b2pre) Gecko/20100709 Minefield/4.0b2pre

[1] Bienvenue sur ce topic, la devise associée à ce sujet, pourrait être: "Toujours plus loin dans la folie!"

@Daniel: Try to print the page as a PDF file and compare it to one of the PDF from my geckozone link.

If the bug is really fixed with the latest Firefox, feel free to close this bug.

Thanks

Did -- those are your Chrome/Opera PDFs.  We don't exactly match their rendering (most of the first page is still blank), but the content is all there (we just push it to the second page, for some reason).

Thanks -- leaving it open, because I flagged this as 1.9.2-branch-specific (Gecko 1.9.2 = Firefox 3.6), and it's not fixed on that branch.

I have a hunch that this might have the same fix-range as bug 550866, but I haven't tested that hunch.
