STR: 1. Load attached testcase; note that you can scroll down and see the "DO YOU SEE ME" text. 2. Print or print-preview the page. ACTUAL RESULTS: Printed output is truncated to 1 page. "DO YOU SEE ME" text isn't visible. EXPECTED RESULTS: Full output should have been printed. This is because we can't split tall <iframe> elements across pages, I believe. We do this for img elements, so we could in theory do it for <iframe> as well.

(This issue was originally reported on bug 1106301; I spun it off as this new bug, to start fresh without a backlog of diagnosis back-and-forth.)

Just ran into this bug. In desperation, switched from <iframe> to <object>, to no avail. Not sure if tall <object> elements should be added to this bug, or a different bug created for tall <object> elements. Would be nice if there were some action on this bug.

It seems you forgot to attach the testcase...

I'm guessing it's something like this...

Somewhat related to bug 534182 although in this case with the additional complication that it'd be extremely hard to support real fragmentation in this case...

A test to show that Chrome doesn't fragment either, it just slices the rendering (mid-way through an "A").
