Bug 89756 – [Qt] Printing QWebView not longer takes into account page breaks.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Printing

[Kaylx]

Upgraded from Qt 4.7.4 to Qt 4.8.2 to find that page breaks in our html when printed to pdf format are no longer taken into account and seem to be ignored.

Printing QWebView with QPrinter::PdfFormat
HTML uses CSS styles "page-break-before:always;" and "page-break-after:always;"

See attached example TestReport.zip.
Contains: TestReport.html, TestReport-4.7.4.pdf, TestReport-4.8.2.pdf

Same problem for me when using QT 4.8.2

[Adrian Jäkel]

Still existing in Qt 4.8.5. Im relying on page breaks for printing reports in my application so unfortunately because of this bug i still have to use outdated Qt 4.7 :(

[Adrian Jäkel]

Is there any chance to find the breaking changes for this? I tried to look through the code but this hard without a starting point. Were there some major webkit changes between 4.7 and 4.8 ?

For anyone with the issue, can you please head over to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33207 and vote on it, this will increase the chances of it being fixed.
