firefox crashes on print previewing certain pages

[gnudoc]

Binary package hint: firefox

(see also bug 17682)
When attempting to print pages with absolutely positioned frames that should span printed pages, firefox crashes (see attached apport stuff).

Initially, there was just malprinting (launchpad 17682, mozilla bugzilla 154892) - upstream landed their patch to *that* bug on 2007/10/02, but that seems to be for mozilla 1.9. Current Gutsy uses 1.8.1.6, so i would imagine that this is not a result of that patch.

Hi,

unfortunately your crash report didn't yield the required information. This can eventually happen. Please go ahead and submit new crash reports in future.

Bug is still there. So there is no point in declaring it "invalid".
