(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Ben Guthrie]

Windows NT Version 4.0 ( Build 1381: Service pack 4)
build id:2001060420

Attempting to print the email frame from Yahoo mail I get the following results

1) option "as laid out on the screen"  prints 1 page of 2, never prints second page

2) option "the selected frame"  prints 1 page of 2, never prints second page

3) option "each frame seperately"  prints correctly. frame "wmailmenu" prints
page 1 of 1 ; frame "wmailmain" prints page 1 & page 2 of 2

I just tested with my latest trunk download:

build id 2001060704

The frame I was trying to print was larger than my previous attempt.

the "the selected frame" option printed pages "1 of 4" and "3 of 4" only

"each frame seperately"  printed all 4 pages ( along with the other frame "

seems like it is printing only the odd numbered pages

I noticed this today at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/hh/msi/novr_3wth.asp

I wanted to print the selected frame, and it would only print page 1 out of 2

Confirming WinMe 2001070904
bug 83683 and bug 89411 seem similar, but they have the footer say (1/1), while
what I'm seeing is just the first page, and there is no footer saying what page
it is.  The content seems to take up all the printable area.

Bug 89111 may also be similar.

I see this bug (or a related one, though this seems like the best match)
with Sparc Solaris build 2001071722.

I created a simple frame page to test it - http://ham.space.umn.edu/crumley/mozi
lla/frame.html . The frame set has a simple
header frame and a long table frame.

Results from trying to print:

1)  Try to print "As laid out on screen":
  Actual results - prints header frame, first page of table frame, and includes
      URL header and title text header at top of page, and date/time and page
      1/1 footer on the bottom.
  Expected results - print header frame,  entire table (7 or 8 pages), and 
  headers and footers.

2)  Try to print "Selected" where selected is table frame (Works 
  fine for simple header frame):
  Actual results - prints odd pages of table frame (1,3,5,7).  Prints
    a URL header, but no footer with page number. Because of absence of
    footer, the entire table fits within 7 pages instead of 8.
  Expected results - prints all pages of table, header, and footer.
  (Possibly related to bug 64447 and bug 66804).


3) Try to print "Each frame separately":
  Actual results - header frame prints on its own page, with URL header,
    and date/page number footer that says "1 of 1". Entire table frame prints
    in 8 pages and includes URL header and date/page footer. The pages on
    the footer start over and range from "1 of 8" to "8 of 8".  
  Expected results - as above, with the possible exception of the page footer.
    I'm not sure what the desired result would be, but you may want footer
    to say "1 of 9" for the header frame, and then "2 of 9" though "9 of 9"
    for the footer.

 Besides the other bugs mentioned, this bug is probably related to bug 66804  
 and bug 64447. When these pagination issues disappear, these frame bugs
 might disappear as well.

 I'll create attachments for the 3 cases listed above.

Is this not a duplicate (or revised version) of bug 83067?

Comment 10

[WD]

This bug has to do with frames, and the problem still exists.   83067 is fixed,
so I don't think this is a dupe.

[James "Dexter" Akula]

Isn't this a DUP of bug 83683.  Sometimes it calculates the correct number of
pages (but still fails to print them), sometimes it doesn't, but I'll bet it is
the same problem underlyin them both.
