812095 - Print preview squishes everything - specific URL

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[keepitsimplestupid]

Attachment: Print Preview is the same as the PDF

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121106195758

Steps to reproduce:

Went to this URL:  http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/index  (Warning, it's very dynamic)

Waited or clicked past the 5 sec advertisement.

Went to Print Preview


Actual results:

Output is squished to the left.  PDF, and XPS output is squished to the left also.

URL worked OK in Chrome.  Chrome always botches printed text anyway.

PDF output created by Acrobat X printer Driver is representative of Print Preview.

I did not send it to a real printer.


Expected results:

Print Preview should have looked like the webpage.

I did find out the cause, but I don't think it should have caused the issue.

"Shrink to fit" was set.  At 100% it worked fine.

In other websites "Shrink to fit" works fine such as when entering this message.

Could you attach the print output (xps or pdf) in Chrome (or another browser), please.

The problem is that F17 shrinks to fit the page. While F16 and Opera and likely other browsers don't. Investigating.

There is indeed a regression.
When FF16+ shrinks to fit the page, it looks like if a custom scale < 10% was applied. It's not normal.

In previous versions, shrink to fit is a little smaller (9 pages) than 100% (15 pages) but not so tiny.

Regression range:

m-c
good=2012-02-05
bad=2012-02-06

Yes, started with 13, not 16 like I stated in comment 7 (got mixed up in profiles)

Printing has significantly changed since this was reported. Do you still see the issue using a current version?
