Question

If a table crosses a page break when printing from Firefox, the table will be truncated with the next page starting with the first line following the end of the page. This is visible in the print preview as shown in this screen capture.

• Screen shot of Firefox print preview:
  

The test table has 40 lines but is truncated at 22 where page 1 of the print ends. Page 2 does not show the rest of the table.

This is not an issue with Internet Explorer version 5.x. I have not tested any other browsers or versions.

A couple more data points on this issue:

• Opera 9.0.1 does not have the problem
• Disabling the EditTablePlugin, one we did not have installed prior to the upgrade, did not effect the issue.

There has been no action or comment on my issue here. I will pursue it as best I can on my own. If the TWiki developers have any hints on how to best get information and action out of the Firefox project, I'd appreciate that knowledge as I begin interaction with them.

As a quick test, saved the HTML of the test page in the screenshot above, stripped out the CSS and javascript leaving strait HTML of TableTest.html and tested it. Firefox correctly continues the table on the second page. I may take the approach to slowly add CSS and javascript back into the file until it breaks. If someone has a better idea, let me know before I spend too much time with it.

I've got the same table problem. Stripping of the line

@import url('/twiki/pub/TWiki/PatternSkin/layout.css');

makes firefox showing the correct preview.

Sven, what twiki version are you using?
