Bug 105519 – Reducing print preview scale significantly causes a crash

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Printing

[Tim Horton]

The print preview image snapshot is being generated with a size that takes the print preview scale into account. It doesn't need to do this - the bitmap just needs to be the size that we're going to draw at!

With four lines of explanation, I'm still not quite sure if this was an out of memory crash :)

We generally prefer static_cast.

"Desired" makes it sound like the desire may not be granted. Is that accurate?

It was, but the crash was secondary to the fact that we were respecting the scale at all when we didn't need to :D

Of course!

No, it will always be the desired size. Perhaps requested? or just imageSize?
