[Bug 223357] Re: print selection Only does not work in firefox3
Your Ubuntu version is EOL on the Desktop. Does this error still occur with a newer and supported Ubuntu version?

Does this error still occur ...? Not as described in the original report, which said that only one full line and portions of two additional lines were printed, but the behavior is still not correct in 12.04 LTS / Firefox 17.0. I followed my own repro instructions in comment #21, and the output omitted all but a couple of pixels' height at the bottom of the top line (the line which says Daz wrote: which was included in the selection), but printed the rest of the lines intact; see the attached image of the print output, showing that the top line is almost completely chopped off. This would be a regression, as several of us posted comments quite some time ago confirming that the bug had been fixed. ** Attachment added: Scan of print output https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/223357/+attachment/3447971/+files/ubuntu-bug-223357.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223357 Title: print selection Only does not work in firefox3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/223357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's definitely not the most desirable method, but using Firefox 3 in Wine will allow you to print selection from content with frames, no problem.

In an earlier comment I reported: RC-1 has been released, and the bug is fixed in that version. At this point the final release for Firefox 3.0 is in the default repositories for Ubuntu 8.04, and sad to say, the bug is back (perhaps in a worse form: see my previous comment). To reproduce: * install Ubuntu 8.04 * run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade * open Firefox * load https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/223357 (this page) * select the comment posted 2008-06-19 containing the substring I'm not so sure. * pull down the File menu * choose Print * select the Options tab * check the box for Print Selection Only * click the Print button Expected result: printed page containing selected comment Actual result: printed page with headers and footers only This is a serious bug. It's not as bad as sets the monitor on fire but it's a real productivity killer. -- print selection Only does not work in firefox3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not only did Firefox not print all of the selection, much of what it did print got printed twice.

Daz: Sorry it didn't work out for you. In fairness to the Ubuntu maintainers, while it's not uncommon in the Linux world to be told we'd like you to install and test this beta software that might mess up your system and confuse the package manager, and we're not going to tell you how to avoid the possible pitfalls the Windows equivalent is we'd like you to reformat your hard disk and re- install the operating system. Neither world is perfect. Good luck with Windows.

Not sure whether you were directing this request to me or to Daz (or both), but in any case while the instructions to which you link appear to have plenty of useful information about juggling Firefox profiles, they don't address the issue to which I was referring. I've seen estimates that there are over 8 million Ubuntu users. I'd be surprised if as many as 8,000 of them (.1%) have a sufficiently thorough understanding of how the package management system works to know the answers to all of the following questions: 1. If someone asks me to install a package on my Ubuntu machine and it doesn't show up in Synaptic's list of available packages, what do I do? 2. If I need to manipulate the list of package sources, how do I know which ones to trust? 3. If I need to add sources for packages, how do the sources interact with each other? 4. What are the possible drawbacks to adding package sources? 5. If I remove sources, what happens to the packages I got from those sources? 6. What bad things can happen if I install software without going through the package management system? 7. What are all of the things I could do to cause the package management system to stop working correctly? 8. What do I do to fix the package management system if it stops working correctly? Surely the Ubuntu team wants to get bug feedback from a broader community than this elite subset of Ubuntu gurus. I'm definitely not in that group, but these are questions that cross my mind when I'm asked to try the latest beta of some program to see if the bugs are fixed, and I know I've got plenty of company. I've asked on more than one occasion for someone to direct me to documentation which addresses these questions comprehensively, and I'm inclined to think that such documentation doesn't exist, based on the lack of response. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong (even if that proof comes with some it was right under your nose, silly ridicule), and I'd be more than happy to use those instructions if they show me how to install Firefox 3RC1 safely so I can do the testing you ask for. (As an aside, I suspect that Daz didn't even realize you were asking him/her to test with a different version of Firefox than is available by default with 8.04, based on the mention of switching profiles without identifying the version of FF used for the test.) -- Bob Kline http://www.rksystems.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- print selection Only does not work in firefox3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
