I'm sympathetic to where you're coming from, but this bug is filed against the platform code and is about implementing the missing functionality in the platform code. Platform developers do not make decisions about adding/changing frontend UI such as opening dialog boxes, so you would need to file a new bug against the 'Firefox' component to get that attention. As for the rest of the discussion, from my perspective as a platform dev it adds a lot of text that we have to read through to check we're not missing anything once we get around to trying to fix this bug. The more bugs we have with conversations like that, the more unproductive time is used up reading through comments that don't help inform the development work involved. You're all welcome to comment, but please do keep that in mind and try to keep unnecessary comments to a minimum. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551949 Title: Printing to PDF file loses URLs/links Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. File -> Print... 2. Select "Print to File". 3. Enter the file name. 4. Enter the save-to folder. 5. Leave the output format as-is, or select PDF if it's not the default. 6. Hit the Print button. 7. Open the resulting PDF in any PDF viewer. Actual results: The URLs within the document are not actually hyperlinks. They are simply text, coloured blue and underlined. Expected results: Any clickable links on the original e-mail message should be retained when converting the document to PDF format.
