This seems to be a regression

Hi Bob,

It seems that mozregression pointed out Bug 1627577 part 4: Enable printing restests on macOS and Windows. r=emilio for causing this regression.

Can you please have a look?

Thank you!

Flags: needinfo?(bobowencode)

Must be part 3, since the other parts couldn't cause this. I'll take a look.

It turns out the change in bug 1627577 exposed a pre-existing bug in other code.

When we end up under the following:

  nsPrintSettingsX::SetPrintRange
  -[PrintPanelAccessoryView exportSettings]
  -[PrintPanelAccessoryController exportSettings]
  nsPrintDialogServiceX::Show
  nsPrintingPromptService::ShowPrintDialog
  PrintingParent::ShowPrintDialog
  PrintingParent::RecvShowPrintDialog

the call to nsPrintSettingsX::SetPrintRange is wrong. At that point we have just finished opening the print dialog in nsPrintDialogServiceX::Show, and then setting the NSPrintInfo data returned from that dialog onto the nsPrintSettingsX. But the SetPrintRange call in [PrintPanelAccessoryView exportSettings] is overriding the range type with nsIPrintSettings::kRangeAllPages if the "Print Selection Only" checkbox is not set. It should be leaving it alone so that the nsIPrintSettings::kRangeSpecifiedPageRange value is not wiped out, unless that checkbox is checked, in which case it should set nsIPrintSettings::kRangeSelection, I guess (if we accept that checking "Print Selection Only" should override the page range).

Don't overwrite the print range type if 'Print Selection Only' is unchecked. r=nordzilla

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla79

I can confirm that this issue is verified fixed using Firefox 79.0a1 (provided in comment 6) on macOS 10.13 (tested both remote & local pages).

Also, initially the "Single" option was ignored as well but this patch fixes both "Single" and "Range".

Leaving a ni? on myself in case of possible beta uplift request/approval.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: Users are only able to print entire documents, and selecting to print a page range will be ignored.
  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce:
  • List of other uplifts needed: None
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): It fixes an obviously-wrong overwriting of a variable, that variable simply controlling which range of pages we print.
  • String changes made/needed: none
