Attachment: Test #2

Same as the first attachment but with "display:inline-block" removed
in the rule for #gsfx_brnd_PageContainer
This prints the right amount of pages, but all except the last two are blank.

Attachment: Test #3

Same as #2 but with "display:table" removed from the rule for #contentArea 
This prints all pages with content.

Not sure if there's a real bug here but it seems worth minimizing Test #2 and #3
to figure out exactly why we print them as we do...

Attachment: min testcase html

The following css causes the problem.

html, body { height: 100%; }
body {overflow-y: scroll; }

Perhaps we should treat overflow:scroll/auto as visible in Print modes for content
where the scrollbar would normally be propagated to the viewport in Screen mode?

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

That would make sense to me.

Yes!
