[SOLVED] Forum topics not printing correctly
« on: March 25, 2018, 03:20:57 am »
Hi all,

Has anyone else noticed a problem with trying to print out a topic found here in the forum?  As an example the topic "How to start/stop marquee ProgressBar?" prints out with responses running together so the printout is very hard to read.  The problem appears to be the block of code that is in the scroll box.  I checked my archive and I have other topics from 2016 that contained scroll boxes of code and they printed out correctly.  Maybe a bug introduced into the forum software in an update?

Thanks,

BZMan :( :( :( :(

Have you tried a different browser? I find that Firefox often fails to print web page information correctly.

Yep.  Firefox and IE both have the printout all running together just like Chrome.  Using Win7 and Chrome (updated to the most recent version).  Same results running Linux Mint 17.3 using Firefox & Chrome.  Anything else I can do to make the printouts come out correctly?

Thanks, BZman :( :( :( :(

I tried to fix it. Please test

The "code" block is an addon (GeSHi). But it does not support the scrollbox like that. So I added some script to make that happen. And that did set some css that does not look right on the print page.

Martin_fr, tested it on various topics with scroll boxes and they all looked good when printing.

Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!
