Description Roozbeh Pournader 2006-11-08 17:28:22 UTC

Description of problem:
When printing pages containing zero-width characters like U+200C ZERO WIDTH
NON-JOINER used in orthographies of several languages written in the Arabic and
Indic scripts, the characters are displayed as boxes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-1.5.0.7-8.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://fa.farsiweb.ir/
2. Choose File->Print from the menu.
3. Click on the "Print" button.
  
Actual results:
The printed page contains boxes over some letters, where ZWNJs are located.

Expected results:
The printed page should not contain the boxes.

Additional info:
bug 214493 is about the same phenomenon when printing using gedit, but is
probably completely unrelated.

Comment 1 Roozbeh Pournader 2006-11-08 19:30:43 UTC

The problem also exists with firefox-2.0-2.fc7 on rawhide.

Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-11-13 22:57:00 UTC

Right.  My fault.  Will be fixed soonish.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-12-10 09:23:43 UTC

Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the
updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or
Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know
in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we
will have to close this bug as CANTFIX.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2008-01-15 14:38:51 UTC

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional
information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

{This is mass-closing of all obsolete bugs; if this bug was in your opinion
closed by mistake, please, reopen it with additional information; thanks a lot
and I am sorry for bothering you in such case.}
