Richard,

I just tried your example stack in Report #4601 and had exactly the same (apparently correct) result printing both off-screen and hidden. I was able to test with two drivers: Adobe PDF and HP C3180. I'm using 2.8.0 build 370 on Windows.

Seems like we're narrowing it down:  I tested on OS X 10.4.8.

Yesterday I'd written:

It seems that there may be a problem with the pageHeights property in v2.8. I'm still pinning down the source of the problem, but have any of you found that revPrintText is printing with some lines missing between pages?

If so, can you verify that this worked correctly in earlier versions?

Do any of your own print routines which rely on the pageHeights property work well in v2.8?

I've since found the source of the problem: If the stack being printed is hidden, the rendering of the printed page will yield unpredictable results. In some cases no text will appear, in other cases (such as my tests using revPrintText via Rev's File->Print Field menu item) the resulting printout will have lines missing between pages.

None of this was reproducible in v2.7.4.

I've logged a bug report at:
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4601>

The workaround is to move the window offscreen rather than hiding it. If moved offscreen but still visible all printing tests I've done get good results.

It might be helpful to have input from others on this issue, since it's still unclear to me whether the problem is in the buffering of the window or something to do with the pageHeights property. If you've found any anomalies with printing hidden windows in Rev in v2.8, or have had missing lines in printouts using revPrintText, please consider adding your recipes to that BZ report.
