No, they are correct; it is not a bug. The background is white on Mac OS X by default, but under Windows, it is determined by color choices the user makes in the control panel. The "gray" printing default is maybe not ideal, but unless you explicitly specify a default color, you aren't given any guarantees as to what color you will actually get. You specify what you want, or you live with what you get.
And it is a feature, too: the default color is determined based on the environment in which the image is being rendered; in this way, the stack "blends in" with its environment. I agree that it makes more sense to use a white background when printing, but it is not unreasonable to require the user to specify this. Not at all.

Gray background when printing but not visible on the screen.
I bugzilla-ed this WYSIWYG failure and the bugzilla was marked as not a bug.
I think the gray should show on the screen the same as it prints as it is
annoying. I wish we could re-bugzilla this and get it fixed as I believe
that it is definitely not a feature.

The gray background of the field is due to the fact that the default background color is being inherited from the card, which in turn inherits its default color from the stack, which in turn inherits its default color from the engine. For whatever wacky reason (not really relevant, I'd think), the default color of the engine is different for printing than it is for display on the screen. Manually specify a background color of white for the card to fix this problem.
As for the font issue, the card is being scaled when printed. By default, 1 pixel on the screen maps to 1 point on the printer. Since your screen is likely not 72 dpi (most have a higher resolution now), the font appears bigger on the printout. Check the documentation on the printScale property for more info.

To see if I can't get hold of this printing malarkey, I created a new mainstack. I placed 1 field on the 1st card and set its 'showBorder' to false. I pasted some text from texEdit into the field. I set the font to monaco, and the size to 9. I chose "print card' from the file menu, and printed the card.
On screen, the card is plain white with some 9 point monaco text on it.
The printed page has a white border, the area of the field being light
grey. The text is at least 11 point.
To check, I printed the same text from texEdit, all appears on the page as expected ie. 9 point monaco.
Is this normal? Does anyone recognise this?
TIA,
Mark
