Yesterday I'd written:
It seems that there may be a problem with the pageHeights property in
v2.8. I'm still pinning down the source of the problem, but have any of
you found that revPrintText is printing with some lines missing between
pages?
If so, can you verify that this worked correctly in earlier versions?
Do any of your own print routines which rely on the pageHeights property
work well in v2.8?
I've since found the source of the problem: If the stack being printed
is hidden, the rendering of the printed page will yield unpredictable
results. In some cases no text will appear, in other cases (such as my
tests using revPrintText via Rev's File->Print Field menu item) the
resulting printout will have lines missing between pages.
None of this was reproducible in v2.7.4.
I've logged a bug report at:
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4601>
The workaround is to move the window offscreen rather than hiding it.
If moved offscreen but still visible all printing tests I've done get
good results.
It might be helpful to have input from others on this issue, since it's
still unclear to me whether the problem is in the buffering of the
window or something to do with the pageHeights property. If you've
found any anomalies with printing hidden windows in Rev in v2.8, or have
had missing lines in printouts using revPrintText, please consider
adding your recipes to that BZ report.
Because RunRev remains had at work on updates to v2.8, timing may be
critical in seeing this addressed sooner rather than later. So if
you've discovered printing anomalies like these please take a moment to
post your recipe to that report at your earliest convenience.
