Reporter

Description

14 years ago

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 1. In Firefox preferences, go to "Content" tab, and click the "colors" button.
 2. Pick some non-white background color, e.g. red
 3. Visit http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README and do File| Print
 4. Ensure that "print background colors" is unchecked in print dialog. (on Linux, it's under the "Options" tab in that dialog.
 5. Go ahead with the print.

EXPECTED RESULTS: no background color on the printed output.
ACTUAL RESULTS:  printed output has the background color I specified in step 2

Alice0775, you're a rockstar. :)

Just to be clear -- did you verify that this was triggered by 0886ad6e6aaa and not another cset from that push?  e.g. this one also looks suspicious:

                                unchecked              checked
m-c hourly build 0886ad6e6aaa : user background color  user&site background color 
local build from 7804b5cf4313 : no background color    no background color
local build from be60f89d06ba : no background color    no background color

So, I guess c-set 0886ad6e6aaa triggered the issue.

I'd just like to add it still happens in Seamonkey latest nightly (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0a2) Gecko/20110712 Firefox/7.0a2 SeaMonkey/2.4a2).
Prints out color set up as "window background" in Win control panel when
printing any text-only e-mail message (I didn't set any custom color in the SM prefs). Reproducible always. Very annoying.
Started happening since upgrade to Seamonkey 2.1 IIRC.

Using Thunderbird 5.0, OS is Windows Vista Home Premium.

email background color is set to a "non-white" selection (i.e. cyan).

In page Setup, under Format & Options tab - under Options, the "Print Background (colors & images)" is unchecked.  However, when email is printed, the background color (i.e. cyan) is printed.  Tried checking the box, and printing; the background color still prints.

Note: the Background color was set in Tools - Options - Display.

it's rather sad that this regressed (if bug 584193 is the regressor) almost a year ago, and it was never caught.

Flags: in-testsuite?

Thanks for working on this. The cost of having a dark background print on every print page is devastating!

Not sure if it's relevant but I've just found out that the background-color CSS property is not being fully ignored (tested in Firefox/6.0).

Bug doesn't happen (background colour is *not* printed) if the site uses:

    - background-color: white;
    - background-color: red;

The bug is triggered (default system colour is used) if:

    - background-color: transparent;
    - background-color is not set

Still a problem with Thunderbird 6.0.1.

If the email background is not white then the background color prints no matter what print preference is set.

Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Details — Splinter Review

In nsCSSRendering::DetermineBackgroundColor when we are asked not to draw background colors we still draw white and not the default background color. This patch basically extends that logic to the special handling of the canvas background color we have in the presshell.

Attached patch patch — Details — Splinter Review

The previous patch was wrong because DetermineBackgroundColor sets aDrawBackgroundColor to false even if we are not printing or are drawing background colors and the background color is completely transparent. So the logic of the previous patch was completely wrong.

So it's back to a white background and more bloody eyestrain and headaches.

IF it is not broken why fix it? 

In this case it was fixed but it is broken again.

This is getting dam anoying and looks as if some one is trying to force us to have printed background colours regardless as per his/her request some time ago

The fix isn't in 6.0.2. You'd need to be using a nightly build dated 2011-09-09 or newer (no such build exists at this time).

Well this is what it says in The "HELP ~ About Thunderbird"  

Thunberbird
6.0.2
Thunderbird is up to date
You are currently on the release update channel

etc.

So if no build exist why is thunderbird telling me this 

'not on nightly builds

Paul, You've been around long enough in bugzilla that you should know that patches don't appear immediately in release builds - it may take some weeks or months for this fix to appear in a release. Please stop spamming this bug.

As for the printer and troubleshooting info, please file a new bug

This is fixed in Gecko 9.0 (see the "Target Milestone" field), which means the first fixed releases will be Firefox 9.0 and Thunderbird 9.0.

In reply to Comment 29, thank you very much for clearing up my confusion: I did not realize that the, while the thread seemed to refer only to Firefox, in also covers TB. I shall modify my last comment in MozillaZine, adding your comment, to indicate that, despite my confusion, the problem is known not to have been solved as of yet, but shall be in the future.

As expected, this bug also occurs in the current Seamonkey 2.4.

Seamonkey 2.5 will be using Gecko 7 (correct me if I'm wrong), Gecko 9 seems far away. Which will be the first Seamonkey to use Gecko 9?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko is a bit outdated.

I don't know about Gecko 9, but the bug looks fixed in recent Seamonkey nightly builds. I'm currently using SeaMonkey/2.7a1
