Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Printing, defect)

Description

[nitr0]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100915 Thunderbird/3.1.4

If I tried to print message with text without forced color (for ex., usual text message) - I get on output text with system default color (in my case - light-green). This isn't trouble for most users (which uses default 'black-on-white' themes), but will result in unreadable output for dark (inverted) color schemes, with dark background and light/white text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set some dark theme with white text color
2. Open plaintext message
3. Try to print it
Actual Results:  
Printed white text

Expected Results:  
Printed black text

nitr0, does this also happen with version 5?
Joe, can you confirm?

Just tried a high contrast (white on black) theme, and could not reproduce here.
Seems the choices (black text white background) in Options>>Display  Colors were followed in the print action.
Tested in current trunk.

In 8.0 things are worse - now printed text with background color specified in Thunderbird color scheme config. Sample .pdf is attached above.

Are you still seeing this with Thunderbird 60.7.2?

Sorry, I don't have a color printer.
