Affected platforms

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Firefox access any pages such as Youtube/Facebook;
  2. Scroll down to have some content loaded (optional click inside the site search field);

  4. In the preview, scroll down;

Expected result

Regression range

Additional notes

  • attached recording to best illustrate the issue;
Has STR: --- → yes

(Marking as 84, but the platform team should feel free to re-triage this one…)

Component: Printing → Print Preview
Product: Toolkit → Core
Whiteboard: [print2020_v84]

This is happens on printed out documents as well.

Blocks: 1601429
Severity: -- → S3
Component: Print Preview → Layout
Summary: Print preview - Search keywords missing from preview on subsequent pages → Search keywords (in forms?) missing from printed documents on subsequent pages
Priority: -- → P3

This seems like a minor cosmetic issue to me. Arguably, this is an author error. I doubt that Youtube intended to have the Search bar show up in print layout at all, or at least not on every page.

The missing placeholder text might be related to bug 1034307.
