James, do you have any extensions installed?

[James (jneethling)]

Hi Alexander,

 From the Extensions list:

QuickQuote version 0.7b4
English (GB) Language Pack (1.5.0.2)
AttachmentRemember (0.1.4)
PrintingTools 0.1.7

The PrintingTools 0.1.7 I made minor changes to customise the display of
the printing headers. These were stylesheet changes.

I hope that this helps :)

Cheers
James

James, from what I understand your original report was for the edgy distibution. I was wondering if you are still experiencing this problem.

Hi Rolf,

I'm currently running Gutsy with TBird 2.0x and can't comment on whether
this is still a problem.

I don't know if the problem still exists with Edgy...

Kind Regards,
James

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Hi James,

thank you for reporting back. Edgy support has ended as of today, but I'd keep the bug open if you had been experienced this problem in a later release. I'll close the bug for now but invite you to reopen it with more information in case you run into it again.

regards

Rolf

Ho Rolf - thanks for cleaning this one up.

Will re-log if I have a problem in future.
