Bug 43271 – Short documents may print a second blank page

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

When printing, elements that stretch to viewport height or whose height is specified as a percentage relative to the viewport have their heights computed relative to the WebView’s height. Often, such as when the WebView fills an entire browser window that takes up the entire height of the screen, those elements become taller than a page. One example, as in the URL, is the html and body elements in a quirks-mode document.

Patch (with cross-platform changes and fix for Mac) forthcoming

I'd prefer const FloatSize& pageSize. Will that work?

Wow, you are leaving this comment!?

I'd prefer const FloatSize& pageSize here too. Make sense?

What about here? FloatSize?

That’s how I did it at first. Then I confused myself into thinking that a FloatSize with a zero component (which would be used here to mean “use the unscaled visibleHeight()”) was bad. I am going to change back to const FloatSize&.

Maybe not…

I am going to change this too.

I was frightened by a comment that said the even the width parameter needs to go away. Not going to change this now.
