Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Printing, defect)

Description

[wooyahhah]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140319120302

Steps to reproduce:

Open any webpage -> Open print dialog (Ctrl + P) -> "Print to File" -> enter filename -> click "Print"
Repeat without changing filename; neither going to other webpages nor refreshing or using different windows/tabs has effect on this bug.
Iff the filename field is modified, file is printed [written to disk], or confirm overwrite dialog appears if file already exists.

[ using Arch Linux on x86_64 ]


Actual results:

"Printing..." dialog displays with progress bar, then closes, but the filesystem hasn't changed


Expected results:

Overwrite already existing file, or display file overwrite confirm dialog

I followed your steps to replicate the bug. 

Following are my results:

1) The dialog box appears, asking us to confirm the replacement(if same filename is used)
2) The existing file also got replaced (if same file name is used)

The print functionality associated with the file replacement is working
