Description Robby Stephenson 2012-07-10 04:56:03 UTC

When printing http://tellico-project.org/movie-report/movie-report.html, at some point, the text in the table ends up overlapping the images. The overlap is not shown when viewing the HTML in konqueror (khtml) or firefox. The problem is not there when printing to PDF with Firefox. So far, only when printing to PDF from Konqueror.

I'll attach the resulting PDF from printing from Konqueror. The first block on page 2, for the movie The Aviator, shows the text on top of the image.

The issue was initially seen when printing from Tellico and was reported as bug #291283. I tried to reduce the HTML file to make the test case shorter and simpler, but was not successful.

The webpage validates as HTML 4.01 Strict, so it doesn't appear to be an HTML issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File->Print
2.Select Print to PDF
3.Open resulting PDF and see the overlapping text and images.
Actual Results:  
Text overlaps the image at the top of page 2.

Expected Results:  
The text should not overlap the image. In the browser window, the text does not overlap.

Note that none of the text overlaps the images, though Firefox prints smaller by default, it seems.

I'd say this is a khtml but, not a print-dialog but

True. What component is that, kdecore? general?

Reassigned for you :-)

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
