Looks like the browser window size affects print preview here, which is bad, but there's nothing the browser can do about that, really. If the site uses scripts to hardcode box positions based on the browser viewport, that's how it will end up.

Anyway, I haven't seen the same problem as in the screenshot above, but I see something else, which may be the same issue after all. Attaching screenshot.

Looks like we get some undesired pagination here.

Reverting the suspected patch doesn't help. There's no other commits by me in the narrow bisect, so I don't know what caused this.

I seriously believe that GMail needs to use a screen or print media specific stylesheet, though. Letting the viewport affect printing like this is bad. We end up paginating the compose dialog because it gets too tall to fit on one page, which certainly isn't what we want.

mstensho: Do we want to try to do anything to fix this, or is this a case of the webpage being poorly designed for printing? I have a feeling the Gmail compose window was never designed with printing in mind.

Yeah, I think this needs to be fixed on the GMail side.
