Details

Xprint (X11 print system, a Xlib-toolkit variant, mozilla/gfx/src/xprint/)
currently has some serious problems in layout.
Examples:
- frames: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=31734
- XML+CSS: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=27443 - bug
71669
- widgets: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=28019 - bug
72216
...and some other ugly examples... but I assume all these issues are all
symptoms of the same bug.

Xlib-toolkit and GTK+-toolkit do not have this problem (Xprint works technically
like Xlib-toolkit except that it renders to a >=300DPI (currently up to
~2400DPI) "paged" device instead to a framebuffer).

Question to layout people: Is it possible that layout has problems with DPI
values >= 300DPI ? Does this bug ring a bell ?
CC'ing some Xprint/Xlib-toolkit people...
Setting milestone to 0.9.2 - I assume we simply "miss" a minor detail in code
which causes this havoc - but _which_ one ?? ;-(
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9.2
Reassigning to dcone.

Layout should have no problems with these DPI values.

I'll wait for bug 83242 - and then Xprint module will be in sync with newer
Xlib-toolkit and PS module code... this (hopefully) should kill most issues...
Depends on: 83242
bug 83242 has been checked in... 
Is this still an issue in Xprint module ?

Accepting for investigation...
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Most issues are gone - except one: Some pages like http://www.yahoo.de/ show a
problem at the right border - some content (mainly in table cells) is cut 1inch
before the correct border...

dcone... is there such a bug in the crossplatform print API which may cause this
?
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.2 → mozilla0.9.3
Filed bug 88196 for the remaining issue (dcone DUP'ed it as a duplicate of bug 
84223 - e.g. bug sits in crossplatform print code - no Xprint module issue),
closing this one as "FIXED". No layout issues left in Xprint module... :-)
