Printing this page as PDF, set page size to A4 , scaling 100% ( default ) https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/09/07/chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-will-keep-testing-the-west
First bar graph is split across page 2 & 3.
Pick any article from the economist, which has graphs or charts and it will happen , same with ft.com, Bloomberg.
The website is responsible for providing a print layout, but the browser should be smarter and assume that the website was made by obstinate toddlers.
Prints fine on Chromium & Edge. The inferior browsers move the "image" so it does not span pages.
Before anyone gets upset , my default browser on all devices is Firefox.
Thanks. Added that addon. This will help a lot.
Well, I didn’t post “steps to reproduce” because I’m not doing anything special. Open the menu, click print, click print in the print modal window. I expect that I get a printed page, which I do, but Firefox doesn’t crop to the margins. The bottom margin is whited out, but it’s like parts of the page are hidden behind it so between every page there is missing text. It’s not my printer because the same happens when I try to print to pdf, and I also use Firefox at work on a different machine with different printers and get the same result. I’m not at my computer at the moment to post an example page.
I'm genuinely sorry but I can't reproduce the effects you're describing. I generate pdfs from Firefox all the time and have never encountered an issue like this.
That's why describing how to reproduce is important.
Could there be an addon you have which is causing this problem? That would explain why it happens for you on different machines.
