Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.print to pdf. the resulting pdf of the page will be cut off half way down. 2. try this site too: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-power-mac-g4-prices.html 3. Actual Results: page is cut Expected Results: full page gets printed a bad, known bug. has been ignored for years. happened in 10.4, 10.5, PPC, OSX86, all browsers built on the core. why does this not get addressed, its a major issue.
In my trunk build, I do indeed get cropped content when print-previewing the URL[1] in the URL field, but I have no issues at the URL given in comment 0. (maybe the underlying problem with that one has been fixed since Firefox 2.0 :)) [1] http://www.stockhouse.com/Community-News/2010/May/5/Investor-Success-Follows-Management-Success Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100605 Minefield/3.7a5pre
And the stockhouse.com URL has print issues due to presence of "overflow: hidden" on a div that wraps all of the main content, with ID "gs_main". If I manually add style = "overflow: visible" on that node, in DOM inspector, then page print-previews just fine.
